About Katherine

Katherine (Kate) Schenk practices from a foundation of client-centered and evidence-based care, blending practical techniques with a focus on personal values and meaning.

Background and approach

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness to help people clarify priorities, develop coping skills, and address persistent patterns that interfere with daily life. Kate emphasizes realistic goal-setting and skill building to support steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With four years as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania, Kate brings experience across a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. Her work also encompasses less commonly addressed challenges such as traumatic brain injury, obsessive-compulsive concerns, process and sex addictions, and mood disorders.

Sessions prioritize collaboration, clear treatment goals, and techniques tailored to the individual’s circumstances and pace. Kate frames therapy as a shared effort to increase insight, reduce distress, and strengthen resources for navigating life changes and stressful situations.

Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, mood disorders, and many daily challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attentional practices that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in situations like grief or trauma.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than prescribed. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods as needed to ensure a good fit and practical progress over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them and to use modalities that match their comfort and needs, while maintaining continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
