Katherine MacLeod , LCSW

Katherine MacLeod is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship challenges. 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, training that informs a broad and practical approach to care.

Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create individualized plans that address current struggles and build coping skills. Katherine emphasizes a holistic perspective that considers emotional patterns, interpersonal dynamics, and everyday stressors so clients can identify realistic steps forward. Whether addressing life transitions, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, or mood and panic symptoms, she aims to support adults in developing clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and greater self-compassion.

Katherine brings warmth and clinical training to each session and frames therapy as a collaborative process. Prospective clients can expect a practical, skills-based style of work rooted in evidence-informed techniques and tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Approach-Focused Online Care

Katherine MacLeod uses several structured approaches that transfer well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and short-term goals, helping clients build on what works already and move toward specific, achievable changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual circumstances.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and access support from home or another convenient location.
