Practical Skills and Flexible Online Support
Katherine Potts draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with more balanced perspectives, while also building concrete coping strategies. It can be especially useful when anxiety, low self-esteem, or negative self-talk are getting in the way of daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds a strong skills component, including tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach can be a good fit when emotions feel intense, relationships feel unstable, or impulsive reactions are hard to rein in. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence with curiosity and respect, which can be helpful when someone is considering shifts related to substance use or other long-standing patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes that work more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, which can be especially helpful for busy schedules, travel, or when writing feels easier than talking in the moment.
