About Katherine
Katherine Crawford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and related mood concerns. Katherine also focuses on issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, panic, and social anxiety.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift small behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used with trauma-related distress. Katherine’s approach centers on talking through specific problems and practicing manageable skills between meetings.
She aims to listen without judgment and to adjust the conversation to what each person needs. That may mean working on coping tools for panic attacks one week and on relationship communication the next. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace that focuses on real-life problems and steps clients can try right away.
Katherine expects clients to be active partners in the work. She checks in about progress and changes plans if something isn’t helping. For people carrying guilt or shame, she helps name the feelings, trace where they come from, and test different ways of responding in day-to-day life.
Her background includes a Master of Science and a Mississippi LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her clinical experience across mood and trauma-related issues.
How CBT and EMDR can be used in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and trying practical changes. It often includes short exercises to do between sessions, and it can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with daily coping.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, works with upsetting memories and the distress they cause. In practice this means recalling a memory while the therapist guides attention in a structured way to reduce the memory's intensity and related symptoms over time. EMDR is commonly used for trauma and post-traumatic stress difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which method or combination to try. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering meetings from wherever there are quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and EMDR procedures for virtual meetings so the work continues across appointments.
