Kathryn Perry , LIMHP, LMHP

Kathryn Perry is a licensed mental health practitioner who focuses on helping people find steadiness during difficult times. She responds to stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and questions around identity and self-worth. Kathryn writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her style centers on building on strengths and setting clear, reachable goals. Sessions often include practical skills to manage anxiety and mood, and time to name and make sense of painful memories. She helps people who are navigating adoption or foster care questions, attachment and blended family issues, body image and eating concerns, or the aftermath of betrayal and separation.

Kathryn uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavior techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. The work is collaborative - goals are chosen together and adjusted as progress is made.

With ten years of experience, Kathryn brings steady clinical time and real-world perspective to sessions. She holds LIMHP and LMHP credentials from Nebraska and practices in that state. Conversations are offered in English and tailored to what each person needs right now.

People usually begin by identifying a few immediate goals and then adding skills to meet those goals. Kathryn helps people break big problems into small, manageable steps so change feels doable.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of relating to partners and family. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies and changes thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it often includes practical homework to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn will work collaboratively to pick or combine methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep a regular schedule and apply new skills in daily life.
