About Katherine

Katherine Magill is a Licensed Professional Counselor who emphasizes a warm, interactive approach to therapy. She brings 26 years of experience and speaks English and Spanish. Parents and family members often find her direct, compassionate style easy to talk with when facing difficult moments.

She began working with children in schools and spent time in social services supporting adolescents and their families before moving into independent practice. That background informs her practical way of handling family and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

Sessions are built around the person in front of her - not a checklist - and she lets clients set the pace. Katherine believes life issues come from many places - past experiences, personality, biology, and current stress. She sees the therapeutic relationship as the place to start peeling those layers apart.

Her tone is respectful and steady, which helps people feel safer to discuss fears, grief, or family conflict. Her work covers common problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She has also supported people with bipolar disorder and serious mental health challenges, drawing on many treatment ideas to meet each person where they are.

Katherine mixes approaches including attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies. She adapts tools to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single method. If you want straightforward, experienced guidance for family and parenting challenges, she offers a practical, patient way forward.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. It helps when family patterns, parenting stress, or attachment issues make day-to-day relationships hard. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy first. The therapist follows the client’s lead and creates space for honest, calm conversation about whatever feels important.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques that fit the situation, whether that means exploring family history, practicing new thinking patterns, or focusing on immediate solutions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. They also let people keep continuity of care when life is busy or when travel is difficult, while still using the same therapeutic approaches and planning used in person.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
