About Katherine
Katherine Kaufmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress and anxiety. She has ten years of practical experience and currently works full time in a middle school setting. Katherine aims to make meetings straightforward and calm for worried parents and teens alike.
She listens carefully and helps families talk through hard situations. Katherine treats family conflict, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports young people dealing with self-harm and questions about gender identity. Katherine believes each person brings strengths to therapy. Her job is to notice those strengths and help people build useful skills.
Sessions focus on problem solving, learning new ways to cope, and practicing small changes that make daily life easier. In a school setting she helps teens with stress, anxiety, and relationships at home and at school. Parents can expect clear communication about goals and straightforward next steps.
Katherine keeps language simple and practical so families can use ideas right away. She offers sessions in English and works with families in Maine. Parents who want to begin choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic techniques for families and online care
Many of Katherine's methods are evidence-based techniques that focus on building skills and safety. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical coping tools for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, emotion naming, and problem-solving strategies. These tools help teens and parents manage strong feelings and daily pressures.Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that prioritize safety and gradual pacing. This helps when someone has a history of trauma or abuse by moving at a steady, manageable pace and reinforcing a sense of control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine collaborates with families and teens to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions support families without reliable internet, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work week while still working with a licensed professional.
