About Katherine
Katherine Best is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and stress. Katherine also lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus.
She uses approaches that center on relationships and personal meaning to address everyday problems. In sessions she talks about how past attachments shape current reactions and looks at patterns that affect trust and closeness. She also uses practical behavior-focused work to test unhelpful thoughts and try small changes between meetings.
Katherine pays attention to how feelings show up in relationships. She helps people notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of communicating. For those coping with loss or big life shifts, she brings existential questions into the conversation about purpose and values.
Her practice is described as informed by faith for clients who want that perspective, but she works with a range of beliefs. She supports people facing caregiver stress, attachment wounds, shame and guilt, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth.
Sessions routinely cover concrete skills and reflective talk. Clients can expect both short-term strategies for symptom relief and longer conversations about deeper patterns. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats directly through the scheduling process.
How attachment and CBT work in online sessions
Many of her approaches translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns; online work can help people notice those patterns and practice different responses in real life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and pace, offering space to talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and often uses short exercises people can try between sessions to test new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining relational work with concrete CBT exercises or shifting focus over time as priorities change.
The practical benefit of online work is being able to fit sessions into daily life more easily. Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. The therapist and client will decide together how to structure sessions to match the client’s routines and goals.
