About Kathryn
Dr. Kathryn Cornella is an Arizona psychologist with a PhD and ten years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and major life changes. She holds the credential AZ Psychologist PSY-002061 and works with clients who want practical help for day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns.
She uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. That often begins with setting clear goals and building small, repeatable skills to reduce overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses when focusing on thought patterns and behavior change.
Dr. Cornella also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address values, relationships, and emotional responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She blends these methods with client-centered listening to keep sessions practical and focused.
Her background includes organizational psychology and work with workplace dynamics, which informs her career consultations. She offers goal-setting, accountability, and progress reviews for people looking to change jobs or improve workplace functioning.
Her approach includes lifestyle factors that affect energy and sleep, and she integrates functional-medicine perspectives when clients want to address nutrition, exercise, and sleep routines. Dr. Cornella also applies relapse-prevention strategies when working on addictive behaviors and supports clients processing grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online
Dr. Cornella often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and test thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on practical exercises and behavior changes that can be assigned between sessions and reviewed over video or phone. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and practice actions that matter despite difficult feelings, which can help with life changes and purpose work. Attachment-Based Therapy is useful for exploring relationship patterns and learning new ways to connect with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix of methods best matches the client's goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That plan can change over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also permit reviewing homework, tracking sleep or activity patterns, and practicing skills between calls so therapy can fit into everyday life.
