About Kathryn
She frames sessions around the client's own experience and strengths. Kathryn treats the person in front of her as the expert on their story and helps them notice practical options. Typical work includes talking through what feels overwhelming, building small skills for managing anxiety, and practicing clearer ways to communicate.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That looks like listening closely, identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and learning strategies for emotion regulation and coping. Kathryn uses short, straightforward exercises and conversation to make those ideas usable between appointments.
Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and directly relevant to everyday life. People often come with a recent change - a job shift, a relationship transition, or a sense of being stuck - and work focuses on making decisions, reducing distress, and improving daily functioning. Kathryn helps people test small changes and notice what does and does not work.
To begin, she asks clients to describe the specific situations that feel hardest. From there she and the client set simple, measurable goals and track progress over time. The focus is practical help you can use after the session ends.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can notice their own answers. Online sessions can provide the same focused conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions, CBT is used to identify patterns, try behavioral experiments between meetings, and practice new thinking strategies with homework that fits daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online work can teach short skills such as grounding, breathing, and communication practices that clients can test between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of listening, CBT exercises, and DBT skills fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try exercises between meetings without extra travel. These practical benefits help integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
