Katharine St. Aubin, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Katharine

Katharine St. Aubin uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She is a licensed master social worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with ten years of professional experience.

Katharine aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through problems and build skills for daily life. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered listening. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and commit to actions that match their values.

Background and approach

Mindfulness skills and parts of dialectical behavior therapy are also available when people need emotional regulation tools. Katharine draws on experience supporting those dealing with parenting challenges, relationship strain, addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. She also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, postpartum mood struggles, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth.

Her work includes help with career questions and finding life purpose. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Conversations are respectful and nonjudgmental, with attention to each person’s strengths.

She treats the client as the expert on their life and partners with them to find what helps. Practical options include coaching-style work, skills practice, and support through major losses. Katharine offers a steady presence for people ready to make changes and learn new coping strategies.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It suits issues like anxiety, depression, and life changes where small value-based steps matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, useful for worry, low mood, and managing daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katharine works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than prescribing a single path.

Online sessions make consistent work easier. Video calls let therapists and clients meet face to face for skills practice and conversation. Phone sessions offer flexibility when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, progress notes, and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work through transitions and relocations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
