Kathryn Douglas, LPC, LPCC

Kathryn Douglas has worked in mental health since 2004, bringing long-term experience across a range of clinical settings to her practice. She has supported people facing addiction, chronic mental health conditions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and postpartum mood challenges, applying a behaviorally informed approach that emphasizes practical skills and measurable change.

Kathryn draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using evidence-based behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping strategies. Her training also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods that support values-driven action and empathic, person-focused care. She holds professional counseling credentials - LPC and LPCC - which indicate licensed training and clinical practice as a counselor.

Her formal education spans multiple degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Quincy University (2004), a Master of Education in Counseling from Quincy University (2007), a Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from Penn State (2013), a Master of Sociology from Arizona State University (Spring 2022), and a Master of Forensic Psychology from Arizona State University (Spring 2025). This blend of clinical training and behavioral specialization informs a practical, collaborative style aimed at helping individuals manage stress, improve relationships, and navigate life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Kathryn primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and compulsive patterns by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to value-driven actions. ACT can be helpful for navigating life changes, persistent worry, and challenges with motivation or meaning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains a good fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access. These options make it simpler to schedule regular appointments around work, family, or other commitments and to maintain continuity of care during transitions or changes in location while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
