More about Katherine
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a psychologist licensed in Texas with experience providing therapy and assessment services to various populations. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, life changes/transitions, motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards growth and change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
My therapy style is warm and compassionate, while also encouraging and motivating . I work from a cognitive-behavioral, relational-cultural, and strengths-based approach in therapy, and I will tailor our treatment to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

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

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.
