Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kate Lacy draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor support to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can clarify values, build confidence, and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and works on practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kate collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Together they review what’s helping, adjust strategies as needed, and choose approaches that support gradual, manageable progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to regular support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to connect from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change. For many, the variety of formats makes it easier to engage consistently and to use therapy in ways that suit their everyday life.
