About Katherine

Katherine Waldrop is an LCMHC clinician who draws on an integrative therapy style to help people work through stress, trauma, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings 11 years of experience in outpatient and community settings and has worked across a range of clinical environments since first entering the field in 2005. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools so each plan is adapted to the person in front of her.

Early work in special education and intensive in-home services shaped her skill set for supporting clients with developmental and behavioral concerns, attachment-related struggles, and family transitions. Over the years she has provided counseling for children and adults around anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, trauma, and adjustment difficulties.

She describes her therapeutic stance as interactive and direct, offering empathy alongside straightforward feedback to promote growth. Katherine emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and honesty in therapy while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emotionally focused strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each individual's goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, offering an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and understand goals. This approach supports a wide range of concerns including mood symptoms, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles with organization and procrastination, and coping with stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in emotional responses and interpersonal connections. It is often used when relationship dynamics, attachment issues, or intense emotional reactions are central to a person's difficulties.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from several models to create a personalized plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility in scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work on skills and reflections between synchronous sessions.
