About Katharine
Katharine St. Aubin is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with over 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as addiction, career concerns, parenting stress, and challenges related to mood including depression and bipolar disorder.
Katharine uses conversational, person-focused sessions that invite people to name what matters to them. She leans on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions include practical tools and moment-to-moment reflection rather than abstract theory.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals and next steps. Katharine emphasizes that each person brings their own strengths and experience to the work. She helps people apply skills to everyday situations, from coping with grief to managing career transitions and parenting challenges.
Her background includes a decade of work in settings that shaped her interest in stress, compassion fatigue, and caregiver support. That experience informs how she helps people who feel overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities or by a major life change.
People who are exploring life purpose or feeling directionless will find a practical focus on values and action. The work combines short-term skill building with attention to longer-term patterns so clients can test new choices and see what fits.
Katharine conducts sessions in English and works with adults who want help sorting priorities, managing symptoms, or making changes in work and relationships.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and for questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete exercises to change behavior and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness-based work trains attention to present-moment experience and can reduce reactivity to stress. It pairs well with ACT and CBT when people want tools to manage emotion and stay grounded.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises depending on what a person wants to try.
