About Katherine

Katherine Simmons is an LPCC with two decades of clinical experience based in Ohio who blends compassionate, person-centered care with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a holistic view that considers thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and motivation when addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, and ADHD. Her approach honors each person’s individuality while offering structured strategies to improve coping, self-esteem, sleep, and relationship patterns.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas, Katherine helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build motivation for change, and develop concrete behavioral skills. She also works with issues including grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress, tailoring interventions to each client’s goals and life context.

With respect for a client’s strengths and story, she supports practical steps and collaborative goal-setting to help people move forward. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental stance and attention to the whole person as sessions focus on what matters most to them.

Katherine welcomes those ready to explore change and offers a mix of therapeutic structure and empathic listening to guide progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Katherine commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with sleep or attention. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and strengths guide the work, helping people feel heard and understood while they explore change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Katherine frames it as a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adapt methods so treatment fits the individual’s needs rather than relying on a single formula.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules or different comfort levels with communication. These formats can make regular contact and consistent progress more achievable while still allowing licensed professionals to apply CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and other techniques in a focused way.
