Background and approach

Katherine offers straightforward tools for handling worry, improving sleep, managing cravings, and boosting motivation and self-esteem. Attachment patterns and relationships matter in her work. She often looks at how early connections affect current reactions and communication.

This helps with relationship struggles, codependency, and issues around abandonment and trust. Katherine combines problem-focused methods with a person-centered attitude. Techniques include recognizing unhelpful thoughts, building new coping skills, and learning ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals.

She also brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. She has four years of clinical experience and keeps interactions simple and direct. People meet a counselor who listens without judgment and who helps them take small, practical steps.

Katherine invites clients to try methods that fit their life and to pace changes so they feel doable.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters most and encourages small, valued actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for people struggling with anxiety, low motivation, or chronic worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and reduce distress. This is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing ADHD-related routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, relationship problems, and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katherine will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. The plan can change as you try things and learn what helps most. She aims to balance skill-building with listening so the work feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let you work face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
