About Katherine

Katherine Nies is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California who brings a collaborative, client-focused approach to counseling and life coaching. With 5 years of experience, she centers each session on an individual’s lived experience, guiding exploration of thoughts and feelings to better understand how choices and patterns shape daily life. She blends goal-setting with practical, actionable steps so clients can move from insight to lasting change.

Katherine works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, and she pays special attention to attachment issues, caregiver stress, control concerns, questions of life purpose, and matters related to pregnancy and childbirth. Her therapy style emphasizes partnership - exploring aspirations, defining meaningful goals, and creating a plan aligned with each person’s values. She supports clients through self-discovery and empowerment while helping them identify concrete next steps toward their vision for change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Licensed Professional

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation by shifting focus from avoiding discomfort to living in line with what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which is useful for attachment concerns and improving connection with partners or caregivers. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel understood while exploring self-esteem, life purpose, and personal strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katherine Nies works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts methods and combines techniques when appropriate to support clear, achievable steps forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed therapist without the need for in-person visits.
