About Katharine
Katharine St. Aubin is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She brings ten years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Katharine aims to support parents and individuals facing parenting challenges as they look for clearer routines and more confidence. She works in plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often include goal setting, emotion regulation skills, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
Katharine uses techniques from acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches alongside cognitive strategies to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. Her style is collaborative and respectful; she treats each person as the expert on their own story. Conversations center on strengths and on building small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
People who feel stuck or overwhelmed can expect a steady, problem-solving orientation. Katharine has experience addressing caregiver strain, addiction concerns, postpartum mood changes, and issues related to aging and end-of-life care. She also supports people dealing with career stresses, relationship troubles, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Katharine encourages anyone considering help to take the first step and try a brief intake to see if her approach feels like a good fit.

Approach-driven care you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting pulled into them and then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel disorienting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and priorities of work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to get consistent care without long commutes or schedule disruptions.
