Katherine Estrada, LMHC

Katherine Estrada is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so parents and busy people can use it in daily life.

She listens for what matters most and helps clients build stronger self-esteem. Sessions often include clear tools for managing worry and improving communication. Katherine pays attention to how past hurts affect current relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Her background blends several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), acceptance work, attachment-informed care, and skills-based methods. She uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. The goal is more control over moods and actions, not just understanding them.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space where practical steps are emphasized. Katherine draws on five years of clinical experience and practices as an LMHC in New York. She works in English and offers online options that fit tight schedules.

Therapy often focuses on concrete goals such as reducing anxiety, handling trauma reactions, repairing communication, or finding clearer direction in life. Katherine supports people as they practice new skills between sessions and track small changes that add up over time.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying practical alternatives. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, encourages noticing difficult feelings without fighting them and taking values-based actions. That approach is useful for people struggling with chronic worry, painful memories, or decisions about life direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. It can help people who struggle with abandonment fears, communication problems, or repeated relationship cycles.

Katherine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed to match the client's needs.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video works well for in-depth work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer quick, on-the-go support and allow brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday schedules.
