Katherine Flechaus, LCSW

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katherine uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as primary approaches. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of exploration and builds self-understanding; it is helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and separate themselves from problem-focused identities, which can be useful for trauma, grief, and family-of-origin issues.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work itself. Katherine collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and she tailors techniques so that therapy matches the client’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. This collaborative process helps clients feel more engaged and clear about the path forward.

Online therapy with Katherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, support access from home or while traveling within the therapist's service area, and allow clients to choose the communication style that fits their life.
