About Katherine
Katherine Bolton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns related to mood, relationships, and coping with life changes.
Katherine uses straightforward conversation to find what matters most to each person. She follows client-centered methods that let people lead the topics while offering practical tools when they are needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may be used to clarify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety or depression.
Her background includes work with people managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and substance use issues. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, blended family problems, communication difficulties, and caregiver stress. Attachment-related concerns and body image issues are also within her focus.
Sessions often include skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practice to help with emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Motivational strategies are used when clients are working on change related to substance use or other habits. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, with concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
Katherine speaks English. She works with adults on a range of life and mental health challenges and helps people organize next steps, whether that means short-term skills work or longer-term support.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Katherine draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections and patterns. This approach helps when people want to understand trust, closeness, and recurring relationship issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. That method keeps sessions grounded in what the client feels is most important to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT offers clear exercises and steps clients can try between sessions to test changes in thinking and action. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them as needed. The therapist biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, shorten a check-in, or avoid travel time. They also support continued work when life events make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT skills practice, and attachment-focused conversations to remote formats when those options are offered.CAreas of focus
