Background and approach
Many people come to Katie for help with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or relationship and intimacy concerns. They also support people facing trauma, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image or eating-related challenges, and work-related compassion fatigue. Katie pays attention to how neurodivergence, attachment patterns, and past losses affect daily life.
Their style blends evidence-informed techniques and a human-centered attitude. Katie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work. Those approaches are used to help people notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and take small, meaningful actions.
Sessions tend to be practical and collaborative. Katie helps clients set clear goals, build skills for coping and communication, and try new ways of handling stress. The focus is on skills people can use between sessions to make everyday life easier and more fulfilling.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Katie commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, which can be useful for motivation and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie works with each person to decide which strategies feel most useful, and they adjust methods based on goals and what actually helps in daily life. Clients are invited to try techniques, reflect on results, and shape the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper, face-to-face work and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing troubleshooting, brief check-ins, and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
