Background and approach
She uses Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through pain and confusion. Katie also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused techniques to address painful memories and reactions.
People come to Katie for help with caregiving stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, anxiety, grief after loss, relationship strain related to addiction, and challenges tied to chronic illness. She aims to help clients notice small changes that add up to better coping and clearer priorities. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
Katie helps clients set short-term targets and builds on strengths they already have. Her style is straightforward, warm, and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Approach-driven online therapy for anxiety and caregiving stress
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s needs. It creates a respectful space where a therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that make anxiety and depression worse and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for tolerating distress and regulating intense emotions, which can help with grief, burnout, or reactions to trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time, so the plan stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contacts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving duties, or medical appointments.
