About Kathryn

Kathryn Bell-Moss is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of professional experience in Ohio. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her approach in the room is straightforward and warm.

She focuses on listening first and creating space for honest conversation. She aims to make each session feel safe and nonjudgmental so clients can talk about hard things.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to match what the person needs that day. Kathryn uses practical techniques that people can try between meetings to see small changes build over time. Her background includes long-term clinical work and steady practice in community and outpatient settings.

Over her career she has blended talk therapy with evidence-informed methods to help people manage urges, rebuild trust, and cope after trauma. She draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those fit a client’s goals. Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions.

Kathryn invites people to set goals and to revisit them as progress happens. Her style is steady, calm, and focused on solutions that are useful in daily life. For people juggling parenting responsibilities or navigating a major life change, she offers clear steps and coping tools.

The focus is on practical, doable strategies that reduce overwhelm and make room for healthier patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space and follows the client's lead to identify what matters most. It helps people who need support naming goals and feeling heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and small behavioral steps to reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for coping with urges, managing stress, and changing day-to-day habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on how things are going. This is a collaborative process that values the client's preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person visit, while phone sessions can fit into busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible ways to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to access care while balancing parenting, work, and other commitments.

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.
