About Katharine
Katharine St. Aubin is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Katharine also lists support for ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, relationship and parenting stress, and issues common to young adults.
She works from a viewpoint that the client knows their story best. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations often include checking what’s working now, what feels hard, and small experiments to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
Katharine draws on several therapy approaches to structure sessions. She may use techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness exercises to slow down intense moments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered listening also inform how she supports someone through hard times.
Her work has included people coping with grief, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, and substance-related problems. She also helps with life-purpose questions, career shifts, postpartum mood changes, seasonal affective trends, and isolation or loneliness.
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, try concrete strategies, and build better routines. The focus is on practical progress: clearer thinking, steadier mood, and stronger day-to-day coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for feeling stuck after school or a job change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often features homework like tracking thoughts and practicing new responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity during stressful moments and can help with rumination and panic.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences over time.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting care into a busy schedule easier - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or sessions that avoid video can reduce bandwidth needs. Remote sessions also let people work on skills from wherever they happen to be, and therapists can suggest practical exercises to practice between meetings to make progress feel tangible.
