About Kathy

Dr. Kathy Greathouse challenges common myths about living well and offers compassionate, holistic support for mental, emotional, and spiritual health. She combines traditional psychotherapy with ancient yogic healing practices to design individualized programs that reflect each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions may blend psychotherapy with meditation, sound therapy, yoga, and breathwork to help individuals process trauma and release held negative emotions from the body.

Her work is informed by both intuitive sensibility and evidence-based approaches, yielding a flexible therapeutic style that adapts to the complexity of each person’s situation. She aims to provide consistent reassurance, comfort, encouragement, and respect while clients face life challenges. Because people and their needs are unique, the tone and techniques she uses vary from one person to another so that each individual feels nurtured and supported throughout their healing process.

She holds the credential LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and integrates clinical training with somatic and meditative methods to support emotional regulation, relational growth, and renewed personal direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Kathy Greathouse



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and explores how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for addressing attachment issues, relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so individuals can clarify goals and build self-directed change. It often helps with stress, self-esteem, life transitions, and decision-making.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical skills for paying attention to present-moment experience with curiosity and nonjudgment, supporting clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma-related responses, or difficulties with emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Greathouse works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which techniques feel most helpful and adapt the work over time.

Online therapy with a licensed professional allows sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access support from varied locations.
