Katharine Hoover , LPC

Katharine Hoover is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, and depression. Katharine approaches sessions with respect for each person’s story and strengths. She aims to create a calm, practical space where people can take first steps toward change.

Katharine helps people name what is most pressing and break problems into manageable steps. She listens for patterns in attachment, communication, and family history that affect how people relate to others. When needed she addresses mood concerns like postpartum depression or seasonal mood shifts, and supports those working through grief, divorce, or separation.

Her work includes coping skills for anxiety and stress, strategies to reduce isolation and social anxiety, and ways to rebuild self-worth after shame or guilt. Parents can get help with parenting stress and balancing family demands. Katharine also supports people dealing with self-harm urges by creating immediate safety plans and longer-term coping options.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with practical tools to try between meetings. She encourages people to notice small changes and use their existing strengths. Over time the aim is clearer communication, steadier mood, and better day-to-day functioning.

Katharine offers services in English and works remotely with people in Colorado. She respects each person’s pace and collaborates on a plan that fits their life and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Many of Katharine’s methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, and social worries. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, doable actions like graded exposure to feared situations or activity scheduling to lift mood and reduce avoidance.

She also uses skills-based work to improve communication and attachment patterns, teaching ways to express needs, set boundaries, and resolve family conflicts. These strategies are aimed at clearer interactions and less reactive responding in close relationships.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress becomes clear. Katharine invites people to suggest what feels helpful and to move at a comfortable pace while testing new skills between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help therapy fit around work, parenting, and busy schedules while keeping focus on meaningful change.
