She supports people navigating anxiety, grief, relationship strain, burnout, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger, and the everyday demands of parenting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Katie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting to stressful situations. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble.She also takes a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that looks for what already works and expands on it. This method helps set clear, short-term goals and find practical steps parents can try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences so the work fits real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing homework. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting schedules and to get consistent support from licensed professionals when it's needed.
