About Katherine
Katherine MacLeod is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship concerns, and life changes. Katherine also lists work with LGBT issues, parenting pressures, intimacy-related concerns, and blended family issues among her focus areas.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Tulsa and a Master of Social Work from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Katherine describes her approach as drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on clear strategies and tools that can be used between meetings.
In practice she aims to help people break down stressful problems into manageable steps. She uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for mood and anxiety symptoms. For relationship or parenting concerns she helps clients clarify goals and try small, concrete changes that can improve interactions.
Katherine describes her work as oriented toward adults navigating common life strains - career stress, communication problems, grief, and blended household adjustments. She invites people to consider short-term goals and ongoing skills work rather than assuming long-term commitment up front.
Sessions are delivered in English and Katherine does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use this work to set concrete homework, track mood patterns, and practice new skills between meetings.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In an online setting it can provide clear skills for managing strong feelings and for improving communication in stressful relationships.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, achievable steps toward a client's goals. This approach is practical online because sessions often concentrate on what can be tried right away and what felt different afterward.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, symptom patterns, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. Clients can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust it if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a workday or family routine. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress without committing extra hours to commute.
