About Kathryn

Kathryn Douglas is a licensed counselor with a nearly two-decade career in mental health, bringing experience that began in 2004. She has worked across a variety of settings supporting people coping with addiction, chronic mental health conditions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and postpartum mood concerns. Kathryn draws on a behavioral framework and often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for change.

Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Quincy University (2004) and a Master of Education in Counseling from Quincy University (2007). She completed a Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis at Penn State in 2013, earned a Master of Sociology from Arizona State University in Spring of 2022, and a Master of Forensic Psychology from Arizona State University in Spring of 2025. Kathryn holds professional credentials as an LPC and an LPCC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - reflecting her clinical training and state licensure.

Kathryn works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career questions, addictions, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on ADHD, compassion fatigue, autism and Asperger syndrome, multicultural issues, obsessive-compulsive concerns, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, women's issues, and young adult transitions. Her approach combines evidence-informed techniques with a practical aim of helping clients meet their goals and improve day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathryn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, often benefiting those dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep or anger issues. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that move a person toward a meaningful life - a useful approach for stress, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. In addition, her client-centered work emphasizes empathy and support, giving clients space to explore their concerns and build confidence at their own pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kathryn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor a plan that may combine techniques from different approaches to fit the client's situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and ways of communicating that suit different lifestyles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
