About Katherine
Katherine Simmons is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Her background includes long-term clinical work helping people manage mood, stress, and relationship difficulties.
She describes her practice as person-centered. That means she treats people with dignity and without judgment. She helps clients change thoughts, find motivation, shift behaviors, and manage feelings in practical ways.
Katherine draws on a mix of approaches to match the situation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She brings in motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to make lasting changes. Mindfulness ideas are used to calm strong reactions and improve focus.
She also references psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns tied to past experiences. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, sleeping problems, self-esteem, ADHD, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She lists additional focus areas such as multicultural concerns, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress.
Katherine frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. She encourages practical, step-by-step changes rather than sweeping promises. To begin, she asks people to choose a matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's process.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respecting the person’s perspective while helping them identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anger, anxiety, or low mood going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to lower reactivity and improve concentration.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful for the client's goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the approach over time rather than committing to one method up front.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also make it simpler to continue care between major life changes and to try techniques in real-world settings with guidance from a licensed professional.
