Katherine Simmons, LPCC

Katherine Simmons is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, straightforward care for people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. Katherine listens without judgment and treats each person with respect and dignity.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. As a client-centered counselor she puts the person's priorities first and adapts work to each individual. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and strengthen motivation.

Katherine often helps people manage stress, anger, sleep difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving strain. Her background includes work with substance use and related behavioral health concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations tend to identify a few concrete changes to try between meetings. She helps clients measure progress and adjust plans when something does not work.

Katherine values collaboration. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

People who like a direct, respectful approach that combines thought-focused work with mindfulness and motivational techniques may find her style useful. She provides services from Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

How Katherine’s approaches work online

CBT helps people notice thoughts that lead to difficult feelings and patterns. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying those thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect. In remote sessions Katherine prioritizes the person’s goals and adapts the pace and focus to what matters most to them, whether that is managing grief, parenting stress, or relationship concerns.

Mindfulness methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. These exercises can be guided during a video call or reinforced through short audio or text prompts between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Katherine will talk through the options, review what has worked for you before, and tailor a plan based on your needs and preferences. That process may mix CBT, mindfulness, and motivational techniques over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access. Video calls let you work face to face without travel. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussions, or shorter touchpoints between sessions. Together these formats make it easier to keep momentum and try new strategies in daily life.
