01About Katherine
Katherine Simmons is an Ohio-based licensed clinician with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and parenting stress. She works in a person-centered way, listening first and then helping people name what they want to change.
Katherine helps clients shift unhelpful thoughts, build motivation, and try new behaviors. Sessions aim to be respectful and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about hard topics.
Background and approach
Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts tools from these approaches to the situation at hand instead of following one fixed method. Katherine has supported people through grief, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD concerns, and life transitions.
She also addresses issues tied to chronic illness, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns. The goal is to find simple, usable steps that fit each person’s life. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small experiments to test change.
Katherine describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building strengths that make those changes possible. The first session looks at what matters most and how to move forward together.

04Online support
How Katherine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. Online sessions give space for those conversations and let clients set goals and priorities in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In video or phone sessions, Katherine can coach simple experiments and homework that help shift thinking and routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will talk about what matters to the client, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match tools to the person’s goals and daily life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists and clients use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick progress notes, timely reflections, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or other commitments.
