About Katharine
Katharine St. Aubin uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person, not the problem. She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and motivation.
Katharine brings ten years of professional experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, working in Michigan. She aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and respectful of each person’s story. Her sessions emphasize practical steps and small experiments.
How Katharine works
Clients learn ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build routines that support mood and energy. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelm and strengthen attention to what matters most. Katharine also works with grief, life transitions, and caregiver strain.
She helps people facing postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and the emotional toll of aging or hospice concerns. When addictions or substance issues come up, she combines motivational interviewing ideas with behavioral strategies to encourage change. Relationship and communication concerns are addressed through focused skill work and clearer goal setting.
She supports parents and people juggling career pressures who want more balance and confidence. Work often centers on small, achievable steps toward better daily functioning. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Katharine values plain language and practical goals over jargon. Her aim is to help people feel steadier, more capable, and more connected to their priorities.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values. In sessions the focus is on building flexible habits and accepting difficult feelings while still moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with behavior changes. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation through concrete practice and planning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can lessen overwhelm and support emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a team process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback and shift focus when a method does not fit their needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or movement is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework sharing, or day-to-day coaching without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments while continuing to use ACT, CBT, or mindfulness techniques in daily life.
