About Katherine

Katherine Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She draws on long practice guiding people through anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. Her goal is to help people find practical ways to get unstuck and move forward.

Katherine's approach is warm, informal, and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people notice their own strengths and choices. Sessions focus on clear steps and doable plans rather than long theory talks.

In a typical session she helps a person name what feels most urgent, then works with them on small experiments or skills to reduce distress. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to calm the body and mind. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused work to keep the focus on what the person wants to create.

Katherine has supported people dealing with difficult life changes, compassion fatigue, and issues like codependency, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses obsessive thoughts and compulsions, grief near end-of-life, and substance use struggles.

People who want practical strategies and a down-to-earth conversation tend to fit her style. She aims to help each person build small, steady changes that add up over time.

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and can explore options. It helps people gain clarity about what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms through short exercises and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process is collaborative - the person and therapist decide which techniques fit the situation and preferences.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing a quicker check-in between appointments. They can support consistent practice of CBT skills and mindfulness exercises in real-life settings where those skills are used.
