Background and approach
In session she listens first, then helps set clear, short-term goals. Kathryn uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and test different coping strategies. She also blends acceptance-based methods to help people act on their values even when emotions are difficult.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Education in Counseling from Quincy University. She also holds a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis and completed additional graduate study in sociology and forensic psychology. Kathryn holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Illinois.
She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions, and approaches each case with a practical, step-by-step focus on what will help day to day.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and sitting with difficult emotions while still moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It teaches clear, step-by-step skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change patterns that feed depression or anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn will work collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on each person's goals, strengths, and daily life. She aims to set short-term objectives and practical exercises you can try between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual materials, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or coaching-style support. These options let people fit therapy around work, school, and parenting responsibilities while keeping progress focused and practical.
