About Kathie
Before private practice work she provided care in clinical settings, including work with youth involved in the juvenile justice system. That role included biopsychosocial assessments, creating treatment and safety plans, and running individual and group therapy sessions. She has also worked with people facing co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges.
Kathie uses practical, collaborative methods in sessions. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what each person brings to the room. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals.
Sessions emphasize empathy, clear goals, and skill-building. Kathie helps clients talk through difficult feelings and set manageable steps toward change. She also has experience with crisis screening and volunteered with Crisis Text Line, which informs her calm, steady approach.
People who want straightforward, goal-minded therapy often find this style helpful. Prospective clients in Florida who read this profile should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Online approaches and how they fit into treatment
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds a trusting working relationship that supports change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and move through strong emotions, which can be helpful for dealing with grief, trauma responses, or relational wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She tailors sessions rather than applying one fixed method, and she checks in about what is and isn't helping as therapy progresses.
Session options are not listed here, so confirm current offerings before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter space. It can also support steady work on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt methods like CBT and Client-Centered Therapy to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
