About Kathryn
Kathryn draws on practical, evidence-based approaches to address panic, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to communication patterns and supports people coping with life changes. She also works with individuals who have autism spectrum experiences and intellectual disability concerns.
Sessions focus on everyday skills people can use between meetings. Kathryn uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, and she layers in acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action. Motivational interviewing helps when a person is unsure where to start or needs help finding motivation.
Her style is respectful and collaborative. Kathryn helps people set small goals and practices that fit their lives. She often breaks larger problems into concrete steps so progress is easier to notice.
With 15 years of experience, she brings steady clinical judgment without jargon. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

Step 3
How Kathryn's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with panic, low mood, and social anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change and can be helpful when starting new habits or addressing caregiver burnout.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan matches what actually helps the individual move forward.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work from a quieter place or avoid video when that feels better. Licensed professionals can tailor online work to practical needs while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person care.
