Katharine St. Aubin, LMSW

Katharine St. Aubin is a licensed social worker in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Katharine emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside them through difficult moments.

Her approach is practical and grounded. She listens first, then helps people clarify what matters to them and set small, doable steps. Sessions focus on everyday skills like handling overwhelming feelings, improving sleep and routines, and building confidence for parenting or work challenges.

Katharine uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to explore values and action, and mindfulness practices to steady attention. Dialectical skills also appear when people need tools for strong emotions and better coping.

She has worked across settings for a decade, supporting people through addiction issues, caregiving stress, postpartum depression, and end-of-life concerns. This background informs practical strategies for people facing complicated loss, isolation, or role changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Katharine encourages people to voice what they need and to test approaches that fit daily life. She describes therapy as teamwork toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. This can be useful for stress, grief, or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports emotional regulation across many concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Katharine will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. She starts with listening, then suggests practical techniques and checks in to adjust the plan as needed.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so people can focus on skills work between appointments. Therapists can adapt exercises for phone or video settings and offer ways to practice skills at home or during routine breaks.
