About Katherine

Dr. Katherine (Kate) Bergam brings 22 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and anger.

Background and approach

She also addresses related concerns such as body image, hoarding, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, and questions of life purpose. Kate emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional processing to help clients navigate both everyday challenges and periods of heightened distress.

Licensed in California as an LMFT, she approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs. Her practice blends evidence-informed techniques with coaching-minded support when helpful, aiming to restore balance, improve self-love, and develop clearer goals.

Kate recognizes that starting therapy is a courageous step and offers collaborative, tailored care to help clients move toward greater functioning and wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Dr. Katherine (Kate) Bergam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns like anxiety, sleep disruption, and ADHD-related challenges. One approach emphasizes skill-building and behavioral strategies to improve daily functioning and routine, helping clients manage symptoms through practical changes and habit formation. Another commonly used method focuses on emotional processing and communication work, which supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues by exploring thoughts and feelings and practicing new ways of relating.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kate works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time to match progress and changing needs rather than relying on a single technique from the outset.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work or family routines, support continuity of care, and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
