Katie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches, to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She works in a solution-focused way and also looks at life circumstances that may keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize doable skills and clearer thinking more than long academic explanations. With 13 years of experience as a KS LSCSW and MO LCSW, Katie has worked with people from many backgrounds. She brings compassion and a willingness to talk about difficult topics.
She values honesty and practical change over checklist therapy rituals. Kansas is her practice location, and she accepts clients internationally in English. Katie encourages a collaborative relationship where the client’s goals lead the plan.
Parents can expect help with communication, managing overwhelming emotions, and rebuilding routines. Outside work she enjoys time outdoors and family activities. Her approach is steady and straightforward: listen first, then try things that make life run better.
She aims to help people find their own version of happier, one small step at a time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It emphasizes values-based choices and small committed steps that fit a busy life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes. It often uses short exercises and homework between sessions, making it easy to continue progress between video or message-based appointments.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's goals and perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so the person can find their own solutions.
Katie will work with each person to choose or blend approaches that match their goals and preferences. Figuring out what feels useful is part of the early sessions, and adjustments are made together as work proceeds.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - let people fit therapy into real life. Video is good for a focused conversation and exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or live chat can suit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep momentum while juggling parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
