Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions are often solution-focused while still leaving room to look at life circumstances that contribute to current struggles. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
Katie aims to create a calm space where people can speak freely and test new ways of coping. She is willing to address difficult topics and works to keep sessions useful and relevant to each person’s goals.
Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities and family time, and she has lived in the Kansas City area for many years after growing up in Nebraska. That background informs a down-to-earth, approachable way of talking about challenges. Katie helps people who want clear, practical steps and steady support.
She encourages small changes that add up, and she tailors methods to what feels doable for each person.
How practical therapies work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss these methods with each person and pick or blend approaches based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The plan can change as progress is made so methods stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls for in-depth sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to get a quick check-in or longer session depending on what is needed.
