Thoughtful Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Kathleen Murphy draws from evidence-informed styles that balance insight with practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect one another, and it can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and building healthier coping habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and genuine collaboration, creating space for clients to explore experiences at their own pace while strengthening self-understanding and self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, which can be useful when navigating grief, life transitions, or overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that match the client’s needs, preferences, and current situation. The work can shift over time as priorities change.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, travel within the state, or days when it is simply easier to connect from home.
