About Katherine

Dr. Katherine Clark helps people who are worried about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, or depression. She writes plainly and listens carefully so parents can talk about what matters without feeling judged.

Her style is practical and focused on real-life changes. She has 21 years of experience and is licensed in Mississippi as MS Psychologist 33 522. She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings are named and examined.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify goals and take clear steps toward them. Dr. Clark uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot the mental habits that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors.

One emphasis is teaching skills people can use on their own. She shows how to challenge unhelpful thoughts and rehearse healthier responses. This makes it easier to handle stress, improve confidence, and manage parenting challenges.

Another focus is sorting out communication and control issues. She helps people practice different ways of talking and deciding so relationships feel less strained. Topics like forgiveness, guilt, shame, loneliness, and life purpose are approached with direct, practical methods.

Dr. Clark describes therapy as a partnership. Together with each client she builds a plan of small steps toward goals.

The work is meant to be useful in daily life and to help people move toward what they value most.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Dr. Clark uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear steps to practice in daily life.

She also draws on Rational Living Therapy, a form of cognitive behavioral work that teaches people self-counseling skills and ways to move toward meaningful goals. This approach supports building routines and small habits that reduce distress and increase confidence over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor exercises and homework to what feels doable for the client.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. These options can make it easier to keep appointments, practice skills between sessions, and get steady support without long travel. The variety of formats helps people use the methods learned in therapy in real life.

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.
