About Katharine
Katharine Laidley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, anxiety, stress, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical conversation and planning to address what feels most urgent in daily life.
She approaches clients with respect and sensitivity. Conversations and treatment plans are shaped around each person’s situation. Katharine aims to help people take manageable steps when life feels overwhelming or unclear.
In sessions she listens for what gets in the way of daily functioning. She helps people identify patterns, set small goals, and try different ways of coping. This can include addressing impulsivity, codependency, isolation, and communication problems.
She also offers support for issues that often co-occur with primary concerns, such as attachment struggles, body image, cancer-related stress, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges faced by first responders. Work can include talking through grief, repairing trust after infidelity, or reducing the impact of dissociation.
Katharine describes her clinical tools as evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit each person’s needs. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Many of the techniques Katharine refers to are evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, then practicing alternative responses. This kind of work can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.Another approach is skills-based coaching that targets stress management, emotional regulation, and coping with life changes. These sessions often involve learning a few concrete skills and practicing them between meetings, which can be useful for ADHD, grief, and addiction recovery.
Choosing the right method is part of the clinical process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats are also less bandwidth intensive or do not require video, which can help on days when a shorter or quieter session is preferable.
