About Katherine

Katherine (Katie) Briggs is a licensed counselor who brings a focused, practical approach to working with adults facing complex mental health challenges. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials - LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and has built two decades of experience helping people navigate mood disorders, trauma, substance use, and related concerns.

Her clinical background includes extensive work with adults managing depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, co-occurring conditions, PTSD, personality disorders, and the effects of trauma. She also works with clients around anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, attention differences, addictions, and compassion fatigue, blending symptom management with support for regaining daily functioning and life goals.

Briggs uses a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each person’s needs and regularly integrates evidence-informed methods to address both acute symptoms and longer-term patterns. She prefers to connect with clients by video, using remote sessions to provide continuity of care and reach people where they are, while adapting interventions to individual circumstances and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, supporting people who struggle with rumination, anxiety, or chronic stress while enhancing overall coping capacity.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these modalities to create a practical plan that fits the individual’s life and challenges.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic barriers. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different formats, and receive support in ways that fit day-to-day life while working toward meaningful change.
