About Katherine
Katherine (Kate) Schenk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people can see what to do next. Kate writes in a direct, calm way and helps people build steady coping skills they can use day to day.
Kate draws on several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person's needs.
Background and approach
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Client-Centered and Mindfulness practices. That mix helps people notice difficult thoughts, choose values-based actions, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. Her work centers on clearing small, achievable steps.
She helps clients clarify goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. Sessions often focus on habit changes, problem solving, and calming techniques that can be used in stressful moments. Kate has four years of documented experience as a counselor.
She has worked across clinical settings and has experience with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, traumatic brain injury, first responder issues, and mood disorders. This background informs practical strategies for crisis moments and slow recovery alike. People who connect with Kate typically want a collaborative approach that balances emotional support with concrete tools.
She uses short-term problem solving when useful, and deeper narrative or mindfulness work when clients want to explore meaning and values.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies and experiments that change daily routines. It often helps with anxiety, depression, OCD-related behaviors, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance so people can find their own direction; it is helpful when someone needs support to sort through emotions and decide on next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions can blend techniques so someone gets both emotional support and clear skills practice.
Online therapy with Kate is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coping reminders, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
