Katharine St. Aubin

Katharine St. Aubin is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and life transitions. She also helps with issues such as grief, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, addictions, and women's issues.

She starts from the idea that each person knows their own story best. Sessions center on the client's goals and strengths, not on labels. The therapist listens, reflects, and offers tools clients can try between meetings.

Katharine draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people manage difficult thoughts, test new behaviors, and notice what matters most to them. Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing concepts are also part of her toolbox when useful.

Her background includes community and clinical settings across Michigan over the last decade. That experience shapes a plainspoken style that aims to make therapy useful and applicable to everyday life. She focuses on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process. The therapist helps set clear steps, checks progress, and adjusts the approach as needed. Katharine encourages self-compassion while working toward practical goals that fit each person's life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and commit to small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or reducing the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic skills online as in person to help with stress, anxiety, grief, and other concerns, while tailoring exercises and homework to each person's routine.
