About Kathryn

Dr. Kathryn Cornella brings a decade of clinical experience and a practical, evidence-informed approach to psychological care.

Background and approach

As an Arizona-licensed psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-002061) she combines cognitive and acceptance-based techniques with client-centered and skills-focused therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. Her work emphasizes strengthening self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and supporting major life transitions through collaborative goal-setting and skill development.

With a background in organizational psychology and experience consulting on workplace dynamics, she integrates career-focused planning, accountability, and outcome celebration into her practice. She also uses relapse prevention methods and functional health perspectives to address addiction and promote lifestyle changes that support energy, mood, sleep, and overall functioning.

Grounded in values and compassion, she honors clients' spiritual and personal beliefs while guiding them toward greater self-understanding, healthier habits, and renewed purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by teaching strategies to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action; it is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for mood, anxiety, ADHD-related concentration struggles, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be blended into other approaches when needed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to match methods to individual goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so treatment remains practical and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and maintain regular contact for coaching, skills practice, and accountability with licensed professionals.
