About Katherine
Katherine Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She works with adults who are navigating emotional challenges at home and in daily life. Sessions are described as faith-informed for clients who wish to include spiritual values in conversation. Katherine uses practical techniques and direct discussion to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce distress over time.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotions feel overwhelming and present-moment coping is needed. Mindfulness practices are included to help with attention and calm.
Katherine also integrates Existential ideas to support people facing meaning questions, and Motivational Interviewing when making behavior changes like addressing substance use or improving routines. She aims to support stronger communication, clearer boundaries, and steps toward everyday functioning.
People considering therapy are encouraged to think about what they want to change and whether a faith-informed approach feels right. Katherine invites clients to begin with a short intake to identify goals and plan next steps together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this often looks like tracking patterns, testing new behaviors between sessions, and using short practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions may include teaching breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and role-play to practice clearer communication.
Katherine treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are expected as therapy progresses so the plan fits the client’s needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions that focus on skill practice and behavioral experiments between meetings, which fits well with CBT and DBT methods.
