Kathryn Starratt is a licensed independent clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire with 24 years of experience supporting adults, couples, families, adolescents, children and groups. She has spent her career working across Emergency Services and Community Mental Health, and has particular experience with families formed through adoption and foster care.
Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach that honors each individual as uniquely capable of growth. Kathryn offers a non-judgmental, caring, safe and respectful space where people can explore who they are and build on their strengths. Over more than two decades she has repeatedly witnessed the resilience that emerges when people bring trust and vulnerability to the therapeutic process.
Kathryn believes that nearly everyone can benefit from counseling at some stage in life. Experiences such as traumatic events, loss, relationship strain, work-related stress, family conflict, and major life transitions can contribute to stress, anxiety and depression, and each person experiences these challenges in their own way.
Her clinical approach draws on strength-based methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused therapy, psychoeducation and trauma-focused strategies, combined with practical, experience-informed common sense. She also values the positive role that genuine care and humor can play in healing.
She welcomes the opportunity to accompany individuals and families on their paths of discovery and recovery, offering steady support and practical guidance along the way.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes - online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility: clients can choose the communication style that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
Therapists who offer online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change providers if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy can be a practical and accessible way to engage in mental health care while maintaining the same professional standards you expect from in-person services.
