About

Katherine Shockley, LPC, brings 18 years of experience in counseling, informed by an earlier career in Neuroscience Imaging and Research. After two decades in that field, she returned to graduate school to earn a degree in Mental Health and Addictions Treatment so she could focus on direct client care.

She has supported a broad range of people, including individuals living with serious and persistent mental illness and business professionals seeking life coaching and executive management training. Her work is grounded in evidence-based talk therapy, an approach that helps people build insight, develop practical coping tools, and make meaningful changes in how they navigate emotions, relationships, and day-to-day demands.

Katherine approaches therapy as a personalized process rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Each client receives a tailored plan shaped by their concerns, goals, and strengths. Whether someone is facing intense anxiety or depression, working through stress and unhappiness, or looking for guidance in personal or professional life, she helps clients identify the resilience they already possess and learn how to apply it in new, more effective ways as they move toward recovery and success.

Evidence-Based Support, Built for Online Care

Katherine Shockley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, meaning her work is grounded in methods that are widely used in clinical practice to help people make practical, lasting changes. In sessions, talk therapy can help clients slow down overwhelming thoughts and feelings, clarify what is driving stress or unhappiness, and practice new ways of responding in daily life.

Her background also supports goal-focused work for people who want structured guidance in personal or professional situations. This can include identifying strengths, setting realistic next steps, and building skills for navigating relationships, workplace demands, and major life transitions. For clients who feel stuck, therapy can provide a steady space to reflect, reset priorities, and move forward with more intention.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine collaborates with each client to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what style of support feels most useful, then shapes a plan around those needs and preferences.

Online therapy makes that support easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients stay consistent with care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from one week to the next.
