Katie is great. I have ADHD, and I’ve had a remote / virtual “ADHD” coach before, so this is not my first time at the rodeo. This one hits different - Katie is great, I’ve made all my appointments and I feel they are helpful and meaningful versus the experience I had last time. Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t helping, my severe ADHDwould prevent me from having the presence of mind to get through this sentence. Think about that.
More about Katharine

I am licensed in Louisiana as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and have been working as a therapist for over a decade. I am also a genderqueer therapist (they/them) who wants to create a loving, understanding space for the LGBTQIA+ community.
I want the process of counseling to be a safe journey towards the life my clients can say "yes" to. I believe in the client being the expert of themselves, and their path is set by their dreams, hopes, and desires, not my agenda. I believe a full, beautiful life is possible for all people, I want to help you in your path towards that be...

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

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.

Sincere, very insightful and overall wonderful person to talk to.
I have really appreciated working with Kate. While I had some concerns about virtual therapy I can honestly say Kate has addressed them. Anyone who has apprehensions about teleheath therapy with Kate please give it a try.
Katie is wonderful and even in just the few sessions we’ve had they have been amazingly helpful. This is my first time in therapy and I feel so grateful to have found a therapist that makes me feel understood and accepted.
