About Katherine

She is licensed in Texas and New Mexico and works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

Katie keeps sessions straightforward. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to face hard moments. She says that beginning therapy takes courage and acknowledges that first step.
Her practical focus includes coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and anger. Katie also supports people working on attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame. She uses several approaches to help people process emotions and make concrete shifts.
In sessions she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Katie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set goals, practice new ways of relating, and test out different strategies between sessions. If you want to begin, follow the practice's steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Katie commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with people online. ACT involves noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then choosing actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anxiety and persistent guilt. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and can help with intimacy issues, communication, and shame.Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Katie treats that as a collaborative process where client goals, life demands, and personal preferences guide which methods to use. She will talk through options and adjust based on what is most useful for the person in front of her.
The practice offers online scheduling and uses a short matching questionnaire to get started; confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, keep appointments when travel is difficult, or choose a shorter check-in when energy is low. Talk with the therapist during intake about how sessions can be arranged to match your routine and goals.
