About Kathryn

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in New Hampshire with 24 years of experience, Kathryn Starratt helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and related concerns. She uses person-centered and evidence-based methods and focuses on practical, real-world support for daily life. Kathryn speaks English and practices in New Hampshire.

Kathryn's background includes work in Emergency Services and Community Mental Health. She has experience with people formed through adoption and foster care and with groups as well as individuals. That variety shapes how she notices strengths and risks in different situations.

Her approach is person-centered. Sessions begin with what matters most to the client and move toward usable strategies. She uses strength-based ideas, cognitive behavioral methods, solution-focused steps, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed work when helpful. Sessions can include practical skill-building and straightforward discussion about options.

Kathryn frames problems as human responses to difficult events like loss, life changes, and chronic stress. She pays attention to how daily routines, relationships, and work interact with mood and coping. Humor and direct care are parts of her practice when appropriate.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and time to speak about what feels urgent. She aims to help clients find manageable next steps and to build on existing strengths.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Kathryn uses person-centered work that begins with what the client says matters most. This approach focuses on the client's priorities and builds from their strengths to set goals and next steps. It helps when someone needs practical support for relationship or life-change issues.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. These methods break problems into small steps and teach skills for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday stress. Trauma-informed work is part of her practice when past events affect current functioning; this involves pacing, grounding skills, and attention to safety and coping.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with the client to test approaches, adjust techniques, and choose what fits their goals and preferences. Clients can expect to review progress and change plans as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. A common advantage of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter travel time, easier scheduling around work or childcare, and the ability to keep momentum between appointments. Therapists also adapt exercises and homework to the realities of a client's home, work, and daily routine.
