I am new to therapy so I don't have a lot of feedback yet. I have had 3 sessions and I am getting comfortable and more in tune to what I need. Even though I am still in the " I really don't know what I'm doing " stage. I do feel like I'm going in the right direction

More about Kateri

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Trauma counselor licensed in Arkansas with over 10 years of experience. I am also a 20 year retired military veteran. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, and military/veteran issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, cognitive processing theory and strength based counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kateri Is one of the best things that's happened to me. She (along with the work I've been willing to do) has helped me completely change the way I think about my life. I feel empowered and capable where before I felt like a total mess, scattered, and even broken. I still have a way to go, but I at least know it's possible now. I highly recommend her for anyone dealing with trauma, depression, or anxiety.

I have had only one meeting with my therapist. But so far she has been attentive, and interested in what I have to say. She gives me useful exercises that I employ. I trust as time progresses we would get to the bottom of whatever is really bothering me.

Kateri has helped me sort through so many things that previously seemed unsortable. She has helped me gain insight into why I do the things I do, and how to do them differently. She doesn't just help, but she teaches. She is fully committed to making certain I have all the information I need to make my life better and understand myself and my circumstances better as well. I highly recommend her!

Kateri is so patient and kind. She offers real-works assistance and suggestions and isn’t preachy about them. She is so compassionate and is thorough about checking in with you and helping you cope or find solutions. Anyone looking gentle guidance will find it with Kateri. I attempted to connect with 3 other therapists on here (two were good, but we just weren’t the right fit) before I found her and she was worth the search. I cannot recommend her enough.

Kateri and I have had 2 1:1 sessions but keep in contact at least every other day. Already, my chief complaints of anxiety, being overwhelmed, and other issues are being brought to the front and proactively working through. She listens, asks the right questions, and makes simple suggestions to resolving an issue. I like the simpleness of the suggestions because this alleviates my anxiety and helps me achieve what I am visualizing my life can be.

Ms. Killman is in your corner from the word GO. I'm new to therapy, so it did take me aback - at first - to have someone listen, HEAR me, and be in my corner. I have a good support system, but it's nice to have a person on the outside to help me figure things out. It took very little time for me to open up to having an advocate and I am completely comfortable. I can see myself opening up even more. One thing I love about our sessions is that she gives me the tools to tap the wisdom I already have, but need help bringing to the surface. I have numerous issues I'd like to work on, so I am looking forward to our work.
