About Katherine
Katherine Steadman is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. Katherine approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to make that step manageable and respectful. She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle anger, impulsivity, panic, and grief.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear skills people can try between meetings, such as breathing and grounding strategies, thought-work, and behavior changes that reduce conflict and overwhelm. Katherine also addresses relationship strain, family of origin issues, and problems tied to substance use. Katherine has worked with people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, midlife transitions, and isolation.
Her work includes helping with codependency, communication difficulties, and the emotional effects of divorce and domestic violence. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, and abandonment issues shape choices in daily life. People can expect a collaborative style that mixes practical tools with supportive conversation.
Katherine offers a straightforward, nonjudgmental space to try new ways of responding to strong emotions. She helps clients set clear, doable goals and track small changes over time. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Katherine holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC.

Approaches to managing strong emotions online
Two useful, evidence-based techniques she draws on are skills-focused behavioral work and cognitive-based strategies. Skills-focused behavioral work teaches concrete actions to change unhelpful patterns, such as practicing breathing, grounding, and exposure to reduce panic and reactiveness. Cognitive-based strategies help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts so they can respond differently to anger, anxiety, or shame.She also uses supportive coaching-style work that helps clients set clear short-term goals and build routines that reduce stress and cravings. This approach is practical and goal-oriented, helping with issues like addiction, impulse control, and caregiver burnout.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support possible, and can fit into busy days or work breaks.
