About Katherine

Katherine (Kate) Schenk practices from a foundation of evidence-informed methods that emphasize practical change and personal values.

Background and approach

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with four years of documented experience, she blends active skill-building with a warm, client-centered stance to help people address concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Kate supports clients in identifying priorities and developing realistic, attainable steps toward their goals.

Her work often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches to explore how thoughts, behaviors, and personal stories shape daily life. She draws on mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and on collaborative problem-solving to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.

Sessions focus on building insight, practical coping strategies, and stronger patterns that support long-term wellbeing. Katherine offers services via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Those interested can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Kate commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, each described in straightforward terms so clients can understand what to expect. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and coping skills. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to take committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, which can be useful for stress, grief, and adjustment challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time rather than relying on a single technique. This collaborative stance aims to match interventions to the person’s needs and to build skills that fit day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions and make it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT techniques to these formats so clients can work on real-world changes from wherever they are located.
