About Katherine

Katherine Lympany is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people navigate parenting and family concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment, creating a space where parents can talk through practical problems and worries.

Katherine emphasizes partnership in therapy - she treats each person as the expert on their life and works together with them toward reachable goals. She brings six years of experience in counseling.

Background and approach

That experience includes supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting LGBT individuals. Katherine uses a flexible, person-centered approach.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and small changes that make daily life easier. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

She welcomes feedback and adjusts strategies to match what helps most. Parents who want straightforward guidance about routines, boundaries, or coping strategies will find a direct, supportive listener. Katherine practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

When someone is ready to begin, she helps them set clear goals and build step-by-step plans to reach them.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and respected; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic presence to work through parenting stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical strategies for better moods and coping; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily routine challenges.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that feel manageable and adjust them as progress is made or needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around family schedules, work, and childcare without extra travel. The variety of formats also makes it easier to use short coaching moments, follow-up check-ins, or regular longer sessions depending on what a person needs.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
