How Katherine works
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set clear goals and find workable steps forward. Her background includes work in hospitals, mental health facilities, shelters, and schools. Those experiences shaped an ability to adapt to different life situations and coordinate with other professionals when needed.
Kate understands how life roles like caregiving and work can add pressure. Clients often bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family difficulties, or challenges after a separation. She also supports people facing body image struggles, cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, addiction, or the emotional fallout from disasters and domestic violence.
Kate prefers practical tools alongside listening. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes, skill practice, and rebuilding confidence. She aims to help people regain balance and move toward the life they want.
She works with people in Indiana and conducts therapy in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and respected. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and habits. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit a person's needs and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face style conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing tracking of progress, and easier scheduling around busy days. These formats make it possible to get consistent support without travel and to use formats that suit different routines and comfort levels.
