Katherine Flechaus, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Katherine

Katherine Flechaus is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a collaborative, practical approach to help adults navigate hard times. She brings 27 years of experience and focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Katherine keeps talk straightforward and action-oriented so parents and caregivers can use new skills right away.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to prioritize what matters most and build realistic steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are geared toward clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Katherine has practiced in Florida and holds LCSW licensure in both Florida and New York. That background includes a long record of helping people manage grief, trauma, caregiving stress, and workplace challenges.

She pays attention to how life stage and role pressures affect mood and relationships. In therapy she listens for what feels stuck and offers tools you can try between sessions. She explains ideas in plain language and checks in about what’s working.

Parents often appreciate the practical suggestions for communication and boundaries. Her work also covers topics such as codependency, family of origin issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and midlife transitions. Katherine aims to support steady, manageable progress so people feel more able to handle daily demands and deeper losses.

Approaches and online options that fit busy family life

Katherine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thoughts and patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, and then try practical exercises to change them. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around what the person feels is most important, which can help when relationships or parenting feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on needs and what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps shape clear, manageable steps instead of one-size-fits-all plans.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice new skills between meetings, and get support during stressful periods without extra travel time. The mix of short message work and scheduled calls can suit caregivers and working parents who need flexibility.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
