About Katherine
She often begins by identifying the thoughts and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck, then helps them test new ways of thinking and behaving. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Katherine also addresses communication problems that affect relationships and workplace stress.
Her work supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, and the emotional fallout of life changes such as midlife transitions. She helps people sort through guilt, jealousy, infidelity, and questions about life purpose. Practical problem solving and clear next steps are a regular part of sessions.
Katherine draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, and Solution-Focused methods to tailor care to each person. She frames therapy as teamwork and listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and build coping skills that fit everyday life.
Based in Florida, she brings long experience to complex emotional and relational issues. People come to her wanting better communication, more confidence, and clearer direction during transitions. Katherine works steadily with each person to map small changes that add up over time.

How Katherine's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities. It involves active listening and reflecting, helping people clarify what matters and make choices that fit their values. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple experiments and practice to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches rather than relying on one method alone.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
