How Katherine works
Sessions focus on finding strengths and using them to solve everyday problems. Her background includes work in juvenile justice and school settings. Those roles shaped how she talks with people from many different backgrounds.
That experience informs how she handles sensitive topics like trauma, domestic violence, and adoption or foster care concerns. She uses several approaches to fit different needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. Katherine mixes these tools to create a plan that makes sense for each person.
Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and goal-focused. She will tailor the pace and exercises to what the person wants to achieve. The emphasis is on practical changes people can use between sessions to feel better and cope with life’s demands.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps with motivation and confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thought patterns, and tackle problems like depression or anger. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment with gentle awareness. Short practices can ease stress, improve focus, and help people notice patterns without getting overwhelmed. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Katherine will work with the person to try methods, see what fits, and adjust based on goals and preferences. The plan evolves as progress is made. Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when looking for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick updates, written reflections, or those who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.Start online instead of waiting
