Katherine Bennett, LPC

Katherine Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 27 years of experience in counseling and supervising other counselors. She focuses on helping people move past stuck places and find ways to act that match their values. Her manner is warm, informal, and collaborative.

Clients can expect a direct yet gentle approach that invites practical steps. She helps people clarify what matters, set realistic goals, and try small changes that build momentum. Sessions emphasize listening, practical planning, and steady progress.

Katherine uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems alive. She also draws on client-centered practices that prioritize the person’s experience and choices. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are added when helpful to increase present-moment awareness and fast-track workable steps.

She has worked with many concerns over her career, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, OCD-related concerns, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.

Katherine aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Conversations stay focused on what a person wants to change and how to get there, while honoring each person’s values and pace. She sees the therapeutic work as a cooperative effort toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Katherine integrates cognitive behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, OCD-related concerns, and problems that benefit from step-by-step skill practice. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and the client’s own goals, offering a space to reflect and make choices based on personal values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan as work unfolds, blending approaches when that best supports progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options support shorter check-ins or ongoing written work. These formats make it possible to maintain regular practice and apply strategies between sessions while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.
