About

Katherine Simmons is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with a supervisory endorsement and more than 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult seasons of life. She has worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use disorders, and parenting concerns, bringing steady guidance and practical tools to help people move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Her work is grounded in a holistic perspective that considers the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. She helps clients explore how thoughts, emotions, motivation, and day-to-day behaviors interact, and then collaborates on strategies to create meaningful change. As a person-centered counselor, she approaches each individual with respect and without judgment, recognizing that no two stories are the same and care should be tailored accordingly.

Katherine integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns. She also emphasizes personal strengths, viewing clients as the experts on their own lives, and partners with them to identify what they want to work on and how they want therapy to look.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Katherine Simmons draws from approaches that can be especially effective in an online therapy format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen personal reasons for change, often supporting goals related to substance use, habits, and follow-through. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s experience leads the work, which can be helpful when processing trauma, parenting challenges, or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not worked before, and what pace feels realistic. Together, they can adjust strategies over time so sessions stay aligned with the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to access consistent support, especially with a busy schedule or limited local options. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how clients connect and how they practice new skills between sessions.
