About Katherine

Katherine Crawford brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice in Mississippi, guided by a practical, evidence-informed approach. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside EMDR when appropriate, shaping treatment plans to address mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Background and approach

Her work centers on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete coping skills while addressing traumatic memories that interfere with daily life. Known for a respectful and compassionate manner, she adapts conversations and therapeutic strategies to each client's situation.

In addition to core concerns like panic attacks and social anxiety, she attends to related struggles such as isolation, guilt and shame, communication problems, and challenges around self-love and forgiveness. Katherine aims to help clients navigate life changes and develop more sustainable emotional balance.

Clients can expect a collaborative process focused on practical tools and gradual progress. Her Mississippi licensure as an LPC reflects formal training and a commitment to continued professional practice, and she offers multiple remote session formats to increase accessibility for those seeking support.

Integrating CBT and EMDR in Remote Care

CBT is a structured, skills-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social phobia. It emphasizes practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories, and it can be applied when past events continue to affect current wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptom patterns, and personal preferences to determine whether CBT, EMDR, or a combination best fits a client's needs, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats allow clients to engage in evidence-informed techniques, complete between-session practice, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work and life commitments.
