Katherine Feldmeier , LCSW

Katherine Feldmeier is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and past trauma. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and restore daily functioning. Katherine aims to make starting therapy straightforward and encouraging for people who feel overwhelmed.

She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and centers the person's own knowledge of their life. Katherine listens for strengths and patterns, then works with clients to set clear goals. She offers tools that are meant to fit into real life, not just theory.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, body image and eating challenges, sleep problems, parenting pressures, and career stress. She also supports those navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Katherine is available for people exploring identity and LGBT-related issues.

In session she uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to a person’s needs and pace, focusing on what helps most right now.

People start by selecting goals and trying tools in small steps. Katherine emphasizes steady progress and practical coping strategies that can be used between sessions. She responds promptly to messages and aims to make scheduling and contact clear and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, validates experiences, and helps uncover strengths that can guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and improve how they express needs and connect with others; it can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skill-building, emotional work, or mindful practices as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter updates when that feels most helpful. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
