About Katherine
Katherine Nies is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA LCSW) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, and she also focuses on attachment, caregiver stress, control issues, life purpose, and matters around pregnancy and childbirth.
She blends conversational therapy with goal-focused work. Sessions tend to look at what matters to the client now and what small, practical steps can move things forward. Clients can expect talk that connects feelings and daily choices, and attention to what gets in the way of clearer priorities or action.
Katherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. She also draws on client-centered principles to listen closely and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment patterns are relevant.
In practice she often combines reflective conversation with concrete planning. That can mean identifying values, trying short experiments between sessions, and revisiting what worked or didn’t. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas can appear when people want to build momentum toward specific goals.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her California practice. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for decisions about life purpose, handling anxiety, and moving toward meaningful goals.Client-Centered Therapy centers on careful listening and reflecting what the client says. This approach supports people who need space to clarify priorities and make decisions at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people name emotions and shift how they respond in important relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress and priorities become clearer.
