She brings a steady, practical style to sessions and focuses on everyday coping skills people can use between meetings. Katherine holds LPC-MHSP and LPC credentials and practices in Texas.
She blends evidence-based methods with attention to personal meaning and values. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
Mindfulness skills and dialectical behavior techniques are used to calm strong emotions and improve focus. Katherine pays attention to how life roles, identity, and difficult experiences shape daily choices. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiving stress, body image and eating concerns, relationship communication problems, and substance-related issues.
She also helps with sleep disruption, anger, low self-esteem, and burnout from compassion fatigue. In the room she favors clear goals and simple homework tasks. Conversations are collaborative - clients set priorities and try small changes between sessions.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want to shift habits but feel stuck. With four years of clinical experience, Katherine aims to make therapy usable and direct. People who want practical strategies alongside reflective work may find her approach helpful.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats.
Approaches that fit day-to-day life and online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to change mood and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related issues. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving frustration tolerance, and stabilizing behavior during crises. Those skills help with anger, impulsivity, and emotional ups and downs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, reflective exploration, or a mix of both and adjust over time as needs change.
Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule and let people keep momentum between meetings.
