Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Person-Centered Tools

Kathryn Opfer, LCSW, draws from approaches that balance supportive connection with skills you can use in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, helping clients feel understood while clarifying what matters most and where they want to go next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be especially helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem by identifying patterns that keep people stuck and practicing more workable responses over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical strategies for navigating intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It can be a good fit when mood swings, impulsive reactions, or self-harm urges are part of the picture.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to tailor sessions to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and tools as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and support can continue between sessions through live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and changing routines.
