About Katherine

Katherine Nolan is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and respectful, and she focuses on meeting each person where they are. She speaks English and French and works with international clients as well.

Katherine uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's experience first. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and partners with clients to set goals that feel meaningful. Her trauma-focused work addresses past harm while pacing the process to match each person’s tolerance.

Sessions are shaped around what the client needs. Katherine adapts conversation, pacing, and tools to fit individual concerns like attachment struggles, body image, or workplace stress. She also supports people dealing with divorce, impulsivity, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Across 11 years of practice she has helped with social anxiety, phobia, self-love, and issues common to women. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. Katherine believes change often comes from small, steady steps and practical coping skills.

She asks people to bring their real-life problems into the session. Together they map out manageable next steps, practice new ways of responding, and check progress over time. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience first. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what she hears, and collaborates on goals that matter to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harm and works at a careful pace. It helps people manage symptoms related to traumatic events and build coping skills to feel steadier day to day. The work is paced to the person’s comfort and readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will work with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to continue therapy when moving between locations. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and conducted.
