About Katharine
Katharine St. Aubin is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of professional experience in Michigan. She centers sessions on what each person brings to the room and helps people use their strengths to manage worry, low mood, and major life changes.
Katharine focuses on practical skills and steady support. She works with concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation. ADHD is one of the areas she includes among her focus areas and she offers ways to manage attention and daily routines without promising specific outcomes.
Background and approach
Her style blends evidence-informed methods and a warm, listening approach. That looks like teaching simple tools for thinking and behavior, practicing emotion regulation, and using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm. Sessions are meant to be hands-on and easy to use between appointments.
She also supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, postpartum mood shifts, and life-stage transitions such as caregiving or aging concerns. Career worries, relationship strain, and questions about life purpose are common topics she helps explore. Katharine describes the client as the expert in their own life.
She partners with each person to set realistic goals and try small, workable changes. Her goal is steady progress so people feel more capable and less stuck in day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without chasing them and then take values-based action that matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening approach where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Katharine will work with each person to identify which approach or combination feels most helpful, adjusting methods to match goals, preferences, and the practical challenges someone brings to sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or clarity between appointments, and messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady momentum between meetings.
