About Katharine
Katharine Childress is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people make changes that stick. She uses a client-centered style combined with practical tools so people can see progress in day-to-day life. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and life transitions.
She starts by looking at patterns of behavior and what gets in the way of a person’s goals. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps so progress feels real instead of overwhelming. Katharine often brings in ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to break problems into manageable pieces.
In recent years she has added mindfulness and meditation practices to her approach. Those practices are used to strengthen the connection between thought and body and to reduce symptoms such as sleep disruption, anxiety, and anger. She also uses guided imagery to support people working toward specific goals.
Her background includes work in group homes, outpatient settings, crisis situations, and community programs. That range gives her experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood concerns including bipolar symptoms and panic attacks. She pays attention to communication and family patterns when those topics come up.
Katharine frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic goals, track small wins, and adjust plans as life changes. People who want clear steps and compassionate support will find a practical, steady approach in her work.
