More about Katherine
- 31 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I've been licensed to practice psychology for over thirty years. I am retired from work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons where I worked with individuals (staff and inmates) experiencing extreme life circumstances as well as depression, anxiety and family issues. After I retired, I had my own business as a matchmaker, but found that I was missing my therapeutic work. I did learn quite a bit during my 4+ years as a matchmaker about what works and what doesn't work in the search for a life mate. This is an extra set of skills I bring to the table in working with folks.
One therapy style does not fit all, so I work to tailor my approach to what my clients request and what they need. Sometimes a deep dive into the historic underpinnings of current life problems is warranted, but sometimes a problem-solving approach is appropriate. I work with people to figure out what their goals are for therapy and to tailor my interventions accordingly. I also believe therapy should not be like experiencing a root canal! I work to bring perspective to my clients and to help them experience joy even in the midst of difficult situations.

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.

Love her. Glad we were matched
Best Dr. Ever
She's great
I appreciate Dr FF immensely and would recommend anyone to her
Still pleased
I was matched with Dr Kate when I was in a place of complete confusion about my relationship and my fear of commitment, but as we worked together so many other areas of life came up that needed to be discussed, healed, released. Childhood traumas, limiting beliefs, lack of self-worth which lead me to have habits and patterns of perfectionism, self-neglect and self-sabotage. Over the last 6 months of working with Dr Kate, I feel far more connected and loving to myself, and my relationship has taken the next step in commitment as well. She offers a safe place, with a loving but direct way of offering you the support you need each session. I highly recommend working with her and I'm very grateful we were matched.
I am pleased that we were matched
Dr. Kate is awesome. I trust her and I think BetterHelp and therapy as a whole has been life changing.
I look forward to my sessions with Dr. Freiman-Fox (Dr. Kate) every week. She's a great listener, has a lot of great ideas and is very knowledgeable about Psychology and people. She's like talking to an old friend and has helped me progress through some of the darkest and most difficult times of my life.
I appreciate Dr. Kate's advice so far -- we are still getting to know each other and it's going very well!
Dr. Frieman-Fox is absolutely terrific. An amazing listener, very insightful, with a warm and supportive energy. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I have spent years searching for a good therapist. I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure who I’d get paired up with or if they’d be a good match but Dr. Freiman-Fox is absolutely incredible. She listens to what I have to say but doesn’t let me just ramble on and on. She’s honest and sincere with her feedback and makes it easy to be transparent.
Dr. Freiman-Fox has been very supportive of me and has been able to effectively identify the underlying causes of the issues I have been dealing with. She has been very engaged with our sessions and keen on suggesting very helpful techniques for tackling those causes whilst thoroughly maintaining a friendly stance with a spark of professionalism.
Dr. Kate is a very experienced and helpful therapist. she understood my trepidation and tried to take her time with me in building a baseline of confidence and collaboration. She is frank, supportive, and not coercive.
Dr. Freiman-Fox is a wise and understanding woman. I feel like she understands what troubles me and is helping me to look at it from a different perspective.
