About Katherine
Katherine MacLeod is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and relationship or parenting strains.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Tulsa and a Master of Social Work from the University of Missouri-St.
Background and approach
Louis. With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Katherine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on the situation.
In sessions she breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills. That can mean learning techniques to reduce anxiety, practicing new communication habits, or spotting patterns that fuel low self-esteem and anger. Sessions are collaborative - clients set goals and track progress between meetings.
Katherine works with a wide range of life challenges such as career transitions, coping with change, intimacy-related concerns, and issues tied to identity and gender. She also offers support around parenting stresses, blended family questions, and forgiveness work. She provides care from Missouri and conducts sessions in English.
People connect with her through online video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that keep problems going.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions, anger, or conflict by teaching step-by-step coping strategies.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and small, achievable changes instead of rehashing the past. It can be useful for people who want concrete next steps for relationship, career, or life-change issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different techniques. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps most.
Online formats offer practical benefits for fitting therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and mimic in-person conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, homework support, and more frequent touchpoints between sessions.
