About Katherine

Katherine Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, LPC-MHSP, and an LPC with four years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with young adults and other adults who face anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Katherine also addresses stress, sleep and eating concerns, low self-esteem, and struggles tied to identity and relationships.

Her sessions draw on practical, evidence-based approaches rather than labels. She uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new routines. She brings dialectical skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance during intense moments.

Katherine integrates clients' personal values into the work when relevant, and she welcomes conversations about faith during sessions if clients want that included. She focuses on clear, concrete strategies people can practice between meetings. Clients can expect goal-oriented conversations with time spent on skills and real-world steps.

She has experience supporting people with substance use and compulsive behaviors, body image and eating issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship conflict. Katherine also works with concerns related to abandonment, impulsivity, isolation, and first responder stress.

Katherine provides care in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online sessions

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through short exercises and homework. DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense moments.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help slow down racing thoughts and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These methods are presented in simple, practice-oriented ways that young adults can try between meetings to see what works for them.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on how the work is going.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow clients to use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or schedule sessions during limited breaks at work.
