Katie identifies as genderqueer and aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space for people who value acceptance and understanding.

Katie focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions often include skills to manage stress and anxiety and tools to cope with grief, depression, and mood concerns.
How Katharine works
They also address relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting stress, and career-related strain. Neurodivergent clients, including people with Autism spectrum differences and ADHD, are a particular focus. Katie also supports those dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation, chronic illness, and caregiver fatigue.
Additional areas include kink-aware work around BDSM and alternative sex culture, blended family concerns, and communication problems. Their approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance. Katie centers client values and workable strategies rather than one-size-fits-all plans.
Sessions aim to build skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and increase what matters most to the client. People who prefer a collaborative, respectful guide may find this style fits them. Katie offers multiple online formats and focuses on meeting people where they are while helping them move toward clearer goals.

How Katie's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that match their values. It often focuses on small, committed actions that move a life in the desired direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find patterns that can be changed with practical exercises and experiments. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and increase moment-to-moment clarity; it supports work on mood, grief, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan over time. They treat the work as a shared effort - clients help set priorities and suggest what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when the internet is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
