Background and approach
She uses approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, and substance-related concerns. Katherine also supports people dealing with grief, issues around intimacy and relationships, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She attends to family of origin questions, communication problems, and patterns like codependency or compulsive behaviors.
Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and loneliness. Her counseling style is informal and compassionate. She helps people make small plans that lead to real change.
Katherine values straightforward talk, practical tools, and the client’s own sense of direction. Sessions may involve mindfulness practices, short-term solution-focused work, or deeper existential conversations about meaning and purpose. Katherine aims to match the approach to what a person needs in the moment, while keeping things grounded and doable.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own experience and perspective. The therapist offers empathic listening and helps people notice their strengths so they can steer toward change. This approach helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address compulsive habits. CBT can be useful when someone wants clear tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods that fit. That collaborative process can include a mix of client-centered listening, CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or short-term solution-focused strategies depending on what helps most.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life and keep momentum between meetings.
