About Katherine
Katherine Simmons is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, parenting concerns, and anger. Katherine uses practical methods to help people manage feelings and change unhelpful patterns.
She frames her work around the whole person. That means talking about thoughts, motivation, behavior, and emotions rather than focusing on a single symptom. Katherine practices in a person-centered way, treating people respectfully and without judgment while recognizing each person’s individuality.
Her sessions combine direct strategies and reflective exploration. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns, Motivational Interviewing to build commitment to change, and Mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present reactions.
In practical terms Katherine helps people develop clearer coping plans. For someone who snaps at loved ones or feels rising resentment at work, she will work on spotting triggers, testing different responses, and strengthening motivation to try new habits. For substance concerns, conversations focus on readiness for change and manageable next steps.
She encourages clients to notice small shifts and to use concrete tools between sessions. The overall aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. Katherine invites people to start where they are and bring specific problems - like sleep trouble, grief, anger, or parenting stress - into the room for direct work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Katherine commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what a person wants to change and builds small, realistic steps toward that change.She also uses Mindfulness practices to help people notice physical and emotional reactions without immediately acting on them. Mindfulness can be useful for anger, stress, sleep problems, and anxiety by creating space to choose a response instead of reacting impulsively.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
