About Katherine
Katherine (Kate) Schenk is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and a range of behavioral concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking about problems.
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness-informed methods. She draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to listen for what matters to each person. That mix is used to set short-term goals and to practice new habits between sessions.
People come to work on things like addiction, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, anger, eating concerns, grief, and issues tied to intimacy. She also supports those facing career stress, ADHD-related challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. Additional areas mentioned include first responder issues, sexual assault and abuse, traumatic brain injury, and relationship patterns such as jealousy and infidelity.
Her approach is straightforward and task-focused. Sessions usually include noticing thoughts and testing new responses, building manageable goals, and practicing skills outside appointments. Kate explains strategies in plain language and checks progress regularly.
She offers therapy in English from Pennsylvania. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site's online options to begin.
How her CBT and acceptance work translate to online care
Kate integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on testing small changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy adds attention to personal values and teaches acceptance skills to reduce struggle with difficult feelings.She treats online work as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix fits the problem, goals, and what the client prefers. That may mean trying CBT worksheets one week and value-based ACT exercises the next, then checking what feels most useful.
This profile does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. The practical focus is on applying skills in everyday life and building routines that fit the client’s calendar rather than on a specific platform or format.
