About Katharine

Katharine Hoover is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 13 years of clinical experience. She centers therapy on practical steps that address stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, and depression. Her approach is straightforward and strengths-focused.

She respects clients as the experts on their own lives and offers support to help them make meaningful changes. In sessions she listens for patterns that contribute to family conflict and communication breakdowns.

Background and approach

She helps people identify small, doable changes that can reduce tension at home and improve connection. When parenting feels overwhelming, she works with caregivers to clarify priorities and develop routines that fit family life. Katharine also addresses mood concerns including postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder.

She pays attention to shame, guilt, and isolation that often keep people stuck. Her work includes exploring attachment and family of origin issues when those histories affect present relationships. Her style is collaborative and practical.

She offers coping strategies for anxiety and tools for clearer communication. She supports clients through life transitions such as separation or divorce while focusing on immediate, usable steps. If someone prefers remote sessions, Katharine provides several online options.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

In her practice Katharine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life changes. One approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and stress through breathing, behavioral activation, and practical coping tools to reduce daily overwhelm. These techniques can help when worry or low mood interfere with parenting or family interactions.

She also draws on methods that improve communication and attachment within families. This work looks at patterns in how people relate, helps name unhelpful cycles, and practices new ways of speaking and listening that improve connection and reduce conflict. It is useful for relationship strain, divorce transitions, and family of origin issues.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Katharine collaborates with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors recommendations over time based on what is working and what needs adjustment.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session work. These options help blend therapy into daily life while keeping focus on practical progress.
