More about Katherine

- LCSW, LMHC
I am a certified licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from Albany State University of New York State. I have a master’s degree in counseling from St. Lawrence University from Canton, New York. I am married and the mother of two adult children. I have worked in agency settings and private practice for over 27 years. I have been in private practice providing individual psychotherapy with adolescents and adults, couples counseling and family therap. I use a variety of techniques in therapy, trying to find what will work best for you. These techniques are likely to include dialogue, interpretation, cognitive reframing, awareness and self-monitoring exercises, relaxation techniques, mindfulness work and journal writing. Approaching feelings or thoughts that you may have tried to avoid for a long time or recent painful experiences can be painful and scary and my goal is to provide you a confidential, supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore these feelings and life experiences.
My counseling style is warm and inviting. I believe in the importance of treating each and every person with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and passing judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and psychodynamic counseling. My plan is to tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
My areas of specialization and expertise include individual therapy for both men and women, couples and family therapy. I have extensive experience working with a cognitive behavioral approach for anxiety and depression, adjustment, transition and relationship issues.
Clinical approaches:
Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Years of Experience: since 1993
The first step in therapy is acknowledging a problem or concern and wanting to become better with professional guidance and support. If you are ready to take that step then I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.
It would be my pleasure and honor to support you at this time in your life. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you.
Kathy

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Katherine is OUTSTANDING at her job. I had been in therapy for the past 6 years and she entered my life at the 5 year mark. In just a year the transformation I under went truly changed my life. She listens, ACTIVELY listens. Can understand what it is that her client needs and helps guide them through ALL the emotions, all the feelings. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, or ptsd, this woman is IT. She does her job WELL. I cannot thank her enough, honestly and truly.

Katherine is probably the most compassionate person I know, and an extremely knowledgeable therapist. I feel so blessed to have found her!!!
Katherine is extremely knowledgeable and one of the most compassionate people I know. She truly cares about my progress and takes me out of my comfort zone to help me
Katherine is patient, understanding, and acknowledges when I make progress, which I so appreciate.
At first, I was on the fence about therapy for a lot of reasons--but talking with Katherine made me realize just how helpful having a judgement-free space to work through what I'm struggling with really is. It has been so easy to open up to her and she has been beyond helpful these past few months. I can't imagine my weeks without our sessions.
Katherine is absolutely phenomenal! Professional, caring, fun, empathetic, knowledgeable, always available. All-around great counselor!
Katherine has helped me so much. I feel completely comforatble discussing everything with her. I feel extremely lucky to have her as my counselor. She's more than amazing.
