About Katharine
Holding LMHC and LPC credentials - licenses that authorize professional practice as a mental health counselor and as a professional counselor - she brings extensive clinical training to each case. Her work places emphasis on thoughtful, personalized care that recognizes the individuality of each person and honors cultural background and life context.
Known for a nuanced and empathetic style, she supports clients through a range of challenges including caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, relationship and communication problems, divorce and separation, mood and panic disorders, social anxiety, and workplace issues. Her approach aims to empower people with new skills for coping, improved emotional awareness, and clearer paths toward recovery and wellbeing.
Katharine approaches therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring interventions to a person’s goals and strengths while offering steady professional guidance to help navigate difficult transitions and restore a sense of balance and hope.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katharine draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people are encouraged to explore feelings and values at their own pace. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is helpful for issues like grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented and can assist with anxiety, depression, panic, and problem-solving in everyday life.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. DBT offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often combine techniques to tailor treatment.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or chronic health concerns. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and apply new skills in daily life while keeping therapy accessible and consistent.
