Katharine St. Aubin , LMSW

Katharine St. Aubin is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with over 10 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions and emotional challenges. She has worked with individuals facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, struggles with motivation, lowered self-esteem and confidence, and the challenge of adapting to significant life changes. Her practice also addresses issues related to relationships, parenting, addiction, mood concerns, and career questions, with attention to the full context of a person's life.

Rooted in the belief that each person is the expert of their own story, she focuses on identifying and building the strengths clients already possess. Katharine emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies that align with a person’s values and daily realities. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage - she offers steady, respectful support through that process. Her approach aims to help people move forward with clearer goals, improved coping skills, and renewed confidence in their ability to manage challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Katharine St. Aubin uses several well-established therapeutic approaches to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing mood, anxiety, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist provides understanding and support while clients explore their own solutions and personal growth.

Katharine approaches treatment collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Finding the right therapeutic fit is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility that can make it easier to maintain consistent care amid busy schedules, caregiving duties, work commitments, or mobility limitations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver supportive, goal-oriented work in ways that suit each person's life and pace.
