She has experience with mood disorders, panic, grief, postpartum issues, addiction, and trauma among other concerns.

She enjoys outdoor time and family activities outside of work. Those who meet her can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone and direct, practical guidance. Sessions proceed at a pace set by the client.

How Katie’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a hands-on method that looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits, useful for panic, mood issues, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Katie will talk with each person about what feels most important, try methods that match their goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client prefers and can manage.

Online sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options let people keep therapy going from home, on the go, or in shorter check-in formats when that fits better. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice skills between sessions and keep steady progress toward practical 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.

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.
