About Katherine
Katherine Magill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 26 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive approach and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Katherine uses clear, direct conversations to help clients understand what they are facing and decide on next steps.
Before independent practice she worked with children in schools and with adolescents and families in social services. That background informs her understanding of family dynamics and parenting stress.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, grief, mood disorders, and long-term health challenges. Katherine draws on several practical approaches in sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Solution-focused methods are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term progress. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She encourages people to set the pace and lead the work.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping clients build trust and tackle problems in manageable ways. Katherine works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, ADHD, and parenting challenges. She also attends to family of origin issues, abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other life transitions.
Her bilingual skills in English and Spanish support a wider range of clients.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Katherine commonly uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered ways of working, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people make different choices in close relationships. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of how she works. Katherine will talk with clients about goals and preferences and mix methods that fit each person's situation. The plan evolves from session to session and is built together rather than imposed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face discussion and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be handy for brief check-ins, brainstorming coping steps, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
