About Katherine
Katherine (Kate) Schenk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing mood changes, stress, relationship strain, and anger. Kate helps with issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and changes in life circumstances.
Kate uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She focuses on helping people name problems and set realistic goals. Sessions often include ways to manage strong emotions and to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. Mindfulness and narrative techniques also appear in the work when they suit a person's goals. Kate aims to help clients build day-to-day skills for coping and decision making.
She has worked in multiple settings that involved supporting people after injury and with trauma-related concerns. That background informs how she approaches recovery, coping, and relapse prevention. Kate pays attention to practical life needs alongside emotional work.
In session, clients can expect clear steps, short-term goal planning, and space to talk through difficult events. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, anger, intimacy-related problems, and process addictions. If someone wants to start, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them despite strong feelings. It can help people who want to reduce avoidance and build consistent behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger triggers.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Kate works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals and preferences. She reviews what's helping and adjusts plans as clients learn what works for them.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as using shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when video is difficult. These practical benefits help therapy fit around work and family obligations without promising any specific format.
