About Kathryn
Her sessions tend to be solution-focused and practical. She helps people set small, achievable goals and build steps that fit everyday life. Kathryn also incorporates trauma-focused and cognitive behavioral ideas when they match a person's needs.

She has experience supporting people dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and eating-related concerns. Kathryn has worked with people who have intellectual disabilities and with those managing mood struggles such as bipolar disorder.
Her approach is direct but nonjudgmental. She aims to listen first, then create a realistic plan with clear next steps. Sessions include practical tools, short-term strategies, and space to address deeper trauma when needed.
Kathryn also offers faith-informed counseling for those who want it, and she has experience with teen-focused conversations. She asks people to begin by sharing what matters most to them so therapy can match their priorities.
How Kathryn’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Kathryn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. CBT often includes simple exercises and clear homework to practice new skills between sessions.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes setting specific goals and identifying small steps that produce change. This approach is centered on what a person wants to do differently and on measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
