About Katherine
Katherine Simmons is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 20 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes a person-centered way of working that treats people with dignity and respect. Katherine focuses on practical steps to help clients manage emotions, change thought patterns, and find motivation to move forward.
Her work often addresses anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, attention challenges, and bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, attachment and blended family issues, and multicultural concerns. Katherine uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and validate, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing helps when change feels overwhelming or motivation is low. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Katherine aims to work collaboratively, helping clients set clear goals and tracking progress along the way.
She encourages people to build on their strengths and take small, manageable steps toward change. Her practice reflects two decades of work supporting adults through life transitions and emotional difficulties. Katherine invites people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session when they are ready.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on genuine listening and acceptance. In sessions the therapist creates space for people to tell their story and be heard, which helps build trust and clarity about what to work on. This approach supports issues like anger, grief, and stress by centering the person's own goals and strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT can include short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that are easy to review during video calls or by messaging between sessions. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and managing anger.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice emotions and reduce reactivity. Practices can be guided in a live session or sent as brief audio or text prompts for practice between meetings, which supports coping with stress and strong feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or use written reflections when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
