About Katherine
Katherine Flechaus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience helping adults facing major life transitions and persistent stress. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, address depression, and strengthen self-esteem. Katherine commonly helps people who are juggling work pressures, caregiving responsibilities, and parenting concerns.
She uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that starts with listening to what matters most to each person. Katherine blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with narrative and solution-focused ideas to identify unhelpful thinking, reframe stories people tell about themselves, and set achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to produce clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of theory. Many people come with relationship or communication problems at work or home. Katherine works to improve how people express needs, set boundaries, and handle conflict.
She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and the emotional strain of caregiving or aging concerns. Her background includes licensure in Florida and New York as an LCSW, and she draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience.
Katherine keeps language simple and meetings practical, so a session often includes skill practice, short homework, and a plan for the week. People looking for an approach that balances empathy with concrete tools may find this style useful. Katherine helps clients clarify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and make steady progress toward goals.

Practical therapies you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them and decide on next steps. It is helpful for anyone wanting a respectful space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that feed stress and anxiety and then teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes.
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face by examining the stories they tell about their lives and relationships. It can be useful when people feel stuck in a recurring pattern or want to rewrite how they see a situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time so the plan feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make meeting easier. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or text are good for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
