Katherine Crawford, LPC

Katherine Crawford is a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the effects of trauma. Katherine aims to meet people where they are and speak in clear, straightforward terms.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people coping with traumatic memories. Sessions are shaped to fit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Katherine pays attention to real-life impacts such as panic attacks, social anxiety, loneliness, and communication problems. She also works with issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and challenges specific to women. Treatment plans focus on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her way of working is direct but compassionate. She listens first, then outlines options and goals together with the client. Progress is tracked in small, doable steps so people can notice change over time.

Therapy can feel daunting at first, and Katherine emphasizes support through that process. She helps clients build skills to cope with day-to-day stress and to move toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

CBT and EMDR in Online Therapy

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and mood problems going. In online sessions this often looks like talking through recent situations, identifying thought patterns, and practicing new skills between meetings to build better day-to-day routines.

EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of painful memories and the feelings attached to them. During remote EMDR work the therapist guides a person through structured processing of distressing memories to lessen their emotional impact and improve coping for trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and suggest how CBT, EMDR, or a mix might fit. Together they refine the plan as progress is made and priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be better for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions, and the range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
