Katherine Flechaus , LCSW

Katherine Flechaus uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people through hard moments. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience and works from Florida. Katherine focuses on real problems like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Her work often begins by listening closely to what matters most to the person in front of her. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practices practical ways to change them. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with room to name feelings and figure out next steps together. Katherine draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge stuck thinking and on client-centered approaches to keep therapy focused on each person’s needs. She also uses narrative and solution-focused tools to reframe life stories and set clear, manageable goals. This mix helps people move from feeling stuck to seeing concrete options. She has long experience addressing workplace stress, parenting strain, caregiver fatigue, grief, trauma and the life shifts that come with aging. Women’s issues and struggles with guilt, shame, or codependency are among the topics she commonly addresses. Katherine also works with people navigating midlife changes, career questions, and infidelity. Therapy with Katherine is a partnership. She aims to help people build everyday skills for coping, communication, and self-care. Practical steps are paired with steady support so people can test changes and track progress over time.

How Katherine’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening deeply and following what matters most to the person. It creates space for a person to tell their story and name goals while the therapist reflects and supports. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is useful for work stress, low self-esteem, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine works together with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative planning can shift over time as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online formats allow similar work to in-person sessions while making scheduling easier. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, managing between-session struggles, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
