I’m so grateful to have been working with Kathryn consistently… I’ve gained coping and mindfulness skills. I appreciate how much she lets me gets my thoughts out, sometimes for 20 minutes straight, and never makes me feel like I’m talking too much. She’s so flexible and kind… thank you!

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.

When I first started I was an anxious mess who was terrified that she was messing up her relationship and afraid of anything bad happening. Kathryn Sampalis has helped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I credit her for so much.
Kathryn is always very supportive, a good listener & polite when offering advice. She will always ask before giving it, which I appreciate for when sensitive topics arise. She is extremely patient, gives me great insight and reminders about things that I continue to work on for myself.
Kathryn is a supportive and thoughtful therapist. She allows me time to process and think through issues and then uses a tactful approach to add an idea or perspective to help advance or shift my thinking. I leave sessions with Kathryn feeling heard and with strategies to move forward.
Kathryn is one of my favorite people to talk to because A) she respects what I said and gives wonderful feedback and B) we genuinely get along and I don’t feel like I’m just talking to a therapist. It feels like I’m just talking to one of my girlfriends catching up. I mean that in the way of I’m not feeling like a burden when speaking and it’s not awkward. She takes the time to listen, respond, and remember what we talk about from each session. If time passes and I don’t text her or book an appointment, she checks up to make sure everything is going well and that I’m okay. I appreciate her and the fact that she cares
Kathryn has been very supportive thus far, I’m eager to see positive changes in myself as I continue working with her
Kathryn is very good at listening and gives great feedback. She’s very empathetic and understanding.
She seems to care a lot about helping people. She is very easy to talk to.
She’s very kind and I can tell she has a genuine interest in finding a way to get me through my problems. I’ve only had two sessions so far but feel so much better knowing I have some willing to hear my issues and seek a healthy solution.
Kathryn is a great listener and takes her time getting to know her patients before giving any advices to help with your therapy journey. I find this quality extremely beneficial in my therapy regimen because it has allowed me to truly voice my thoughts, giving me the ability to move forward with my healing. She is punctual and easy to have conversations with.
