Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a routine, confused, drained, disconnected, and desiring it all to be different?
My approach is simple, I want to create a space where you feel comfortable to explore, discover, and embrace your authentic self. My job is to be present, validating, and provide an alternative way to look at your experiences and feel empowered, seen, and confident as you live your story.
My background as an LCSW ranges from working with individuals, families, caregivers, and groups. I've worked with individuals whose age range from young children to young adulthood living with chronic medical conditions and working through the frustration, grief, and toll it takes. I also have experience working with the parents and caregivers of those living with chronic diagnosis and the emotional strain it can cause. In addition to chronic diagnosis, I have extensive experience working with individuals and groups who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relationship strain, family dynamic issues, life direction challenges, living with or caring for someone with autism, involvement with child protection/human services, LGBTQ+ questions/and or need, faith and religious questions and/or needs.
I draw from therapy models such as cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focussed therapy, and experiential therapy. I am trained in mindfulness and breath work, and have been certified in the Strengthening Families Model. I will take time getting to know you and hearing you in order to draw from these models and provide appropriate support based on what you are wanting to gain from our time together.
I'm honored to take the time you deserve discovering how you can live your life authentically!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.

Kate is very attentive to my needs and intuitive in finding ways to help me think about my crises in a different light
Kate is amazing! She absolutely meets you where you’re at & takes you to the next level
I’m very happy with BetterHelp and with Katherine. She listens and give wonderful advice.
Like talking to close friend, Katherine is so trustworthy and reliable! I feel refreshed after most sessions. She is great at implicating simple techniques that are easy to take with you through every day life. I have really noticed a change in the way I look at things since talking to Katherine!
Kate is an amazing therapist! She me to where you’re at and hope to get to the next level. Lots of kindness, support and compassion for you as a person.
Ms. Josey is really good and this, and she has exceeded my expectations in every way. She is knowledgeable with regard to the approach to therapy that we agreed to work on (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with some coaching), she's a good listener, and she takes her work seriously. I never feel like she's just "going through the motions," in part because she often sends me follow up thoughts from the session, and she checks in from time to time. When I have questions outside of session, she responds quickly. I think she's great, and I recommend her.
10/10
She is amazing!
Kate does a good job of receiving the conversation without bias, and with a level of curious that enables self-reflection and also makes room for patience. As a black man, I felt that I could speak in a safe space without prejudice or a feeling that I was being “talked at.”
Katherine listens and responds with respect. She is great about prompting you to be able to think deeper about the root of your feelings. Conversation flows easily without feeling forced.
Katherine is professional and personable, she does a fantastic job at giving perspective and helping you work through your thoughts.
Although I have not worked with Kathrine much I am looking forward to her expertise. I have been grateful and impressed with all communique this far.
Kate is extremely personable, which makes it easy to talk to her about literally anything on my mind. She really makes me feel comfortable speaking my mind and heart, and I recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist.
Kate does a great job showing empathy and curiosity in our sessions. I was a bit hesitant about working with her seeing as we come from vastly different backgrounds, however, she has allowed me to feel we have a safe space in our short time together.
Kate is a lovely, professional person. Her profile detailing her experience is what originally impressed me and made me feel like I was going to be in good hands. I’m so grateful to say that it was true. She is insightful and asks all the right questions. I feel heard and validated by her, and I love her takeaway questions and homework. From only two sessions, I’ve already felt a difference in how I’ve interpreted my emotions and actions. She’s a light and I would recommend her to anyone.
