About Katherine

Katherine Maestre-Caro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and supports adults with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, depression, stress, anxiety, and related issues including social anxiety and phobia.

Katherine works with individuals and couples to talk through painful events and improve how they relate to others. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She helps people understand patterns such as attachment issues, communication problems, jealousy, and infidelity so they can make different choices in relationships.

Her background includes long-term work with survivors of sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses panic attacks, personality disorders, sleep problems, fertility and immigration stressors. Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and adjusts methods to fit each person’s situation.

She offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Appointment logistics and fees vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Katherine aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic steps toward better day-to-day functioning. She encourages straightforward conversation, practical skill work, and attention to relationship patterns that affect mood and connection.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; this method teaches concrete skills for coping with panic attacks and social anxiety symptoms. Another approach emphasizes working with relationship and attachment patterns to improve communication and intimacy; this helps people notice repeated cycles and practice new interaction skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine collaborates with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together, tests methods, and adjusts the plan as progress is tracked so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use audio-only meetings when that better suits the situation. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life while staying focused on skills, relationship patterns, and symptom reduction.
