About Kathryn

Kathryn Perry offers straightforward, practical help for parents and families trying to find balance. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and changes that derail routines. Kathryn creates a calm space to talk through worries and set realistic goals.

She uses clear, practical steps so families can try new ways of handling problems at home. Kathryn draws on ten years of experience as a licensed mental health professional in Nebraska.

Background and approach

She holds LIMHP and LMHP credentials and uses approaches that match each person’s needs rather than a single method. Sessions often include identifying strengths, learning simple skills, and making small changes that add up over time. Her work with families includes helping with attachment concerns, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress.

She also supports people facing eating and body image issues, intimacy and relationship problems, and forgiveness or guilt struggles. Parents can expect help with setting boundaries and managing child behavior in ways that fit their values. Kathryn blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive and skills-based tools when helpful.

She can teach emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical approaches and use attachment-focused strategies to improve family connection. The aim is practical tools parents can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and occur through online formats.

Kathryn uses a strengths-based, down-to-earth style that invites collaboration and steady progress toward clearer routines and healthier family interactions.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them and then take actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with anxiety, mood, and everyday family routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships affect emotions and behavior and supports improving connection and trust within families and between parents and children.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person or family to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, values, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let members meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or skill coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school schedules, workdays, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping consistent progress toward family goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
