About Katherine
Katherine "Kate" Lynch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 10 years of practical experience to her work. She emphasizes a client-centered style and focuses on trauma, grief, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Kate writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who reaches out.
She trained in social work at Ball State University and completed her master of social work at IUPUI in 2014. Since then she has worked in hospitals, mental health facilities, shelters, and schools. Those settings exposed her to many kinds of needs and ways of supporting people through crisis.
In sessions she uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Her aim is to match practical tools to a person’s goals and daily life. She explains options clearly and helps people try methods that feel useful.
Kate has a particular interest in trauma and grief work and in supporting people affected by family disruption, loss, or relationship strain. She also supports those coping with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, addiction, caregiver stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect direct conversation, concrete skills practice, and chances to reflect on progress. To begin, she asks a few questions to learn what matters most and then builds a plan that fits each person’s schedule and needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following what the person says matters most. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of feelings and set their own goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and teaches practical skills to shift patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, body image concerns, and negative thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills. It can help people manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and what methods seem most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what is working.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, and let people join from familiar routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools effectively in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, worksheets, and real-time problem solving.
