About
Katharine Mahan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 27 years of experience supporting adults through stressful and challenging seasons of life. She offers a welcoming space to talk and works to help clients feel at ease, whether sessions take place virtually or in person.
Her work commonly centers on stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and building self-esteem, as well as coping with major life transitions. She also supports adults impacted by serious illness, including cancer, and the unique strain that can come with caregiving. When communication problems or women’s issues are part of the picture, she helps clients sort through what feels stuck and identify practical steps forward.
Katharine uses a client-centered style, guided by the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. Together, she and the client clarify goals, strengthen coping skills, and develop a plan for what comes next. She draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors the work to the individual, often integrating strategies from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), mindfulness, and neuroscience-informed ideas to build tools that fit real-life needs.

Evidence-Based Tools, Made Practical Online
Katharine Mahan integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building more workable ways of thinking and responding, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism feels hard to shift.She may also draw from DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), which emphasizes skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - practical supports for intense emotions, communication problems, or feeling overwhelmed. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) can help clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with values and taking meaningful steps forward, especially during caregiving stress, serious illness, or periods of change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katharine works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, explore what has and has not helped in the past, and tailor strategies to individual preferences and day-to-day realities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent with care, fit sessions around responsibilities, and access support from wherever is most convenient.
