Katherine Nies, LCSW

Katherine Nies is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, control issues, questions about life purpose, and pregnancy or childbirth transitions. Katherine focuses on understanding what matters to each person and finding practical steps forward.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions are a place to talk through what’s getting in the way and to try small changes that fit daily life. She listens for values and goals, then helps people set manageable steps toward them. Expect straightforward conversation and tools you can use between sessions.

She helps people notice what matters and then make choices that line up with those priorities.

She invites people to explore their strengths and test new ways of responding to stress and relationship strain. Work together to create goals and steps that feel realistic.

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about parenting or life purpose. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, giving space to be heard and to find solutions that feel right for them.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Katherine will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If an approach feels off, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice new skills in their everyday routines and quickly bring what comes up between sessions back into therapy for discussion.
