About Katherine

Katherine Gross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting struggles, trauma, grief, and codependency. Katherine often sees people who feel stuck putting others first, losing themselves in relationships, or coping with a partner's drinking or crises.

She earned a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University in 2011 and completed internships that included a bereavement group and a center focused on family trauma. Those early roles shaped how she thinks about attachment, loss, and family patterns.

Katherine describes her main approaches as client-centered (also called person-centered) and narrative therapy. She also uses ideas from attachment-focused models and cognitive behavioral methods to address patterns of thinking and relating. Sessions emphasize understanding how past relationships shape present choices.

In practice she listens for the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. She helps name repeated patterns, like people-pleasing or trouble setting limits, and works on concrete steps to change them. Conversations move between exploring feelings, reshaping self-narratives, and trying new behaviors.

Her experience includes working with trauma, adoption and foster care questions, postpartum depression, ADHD, blended family issues, and compassion fatigue. Katherine offers straightforward talk, practical suggestions, and a collaborative way of deciding what to try next.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Many of Katherine’s methods transfer well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person in front of her and reflecting back what she hears, which helps clarify feelings and priorities even when meeting by video or phone. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and online sessions can be used to rewrite those stories into more manageable versions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments between sessions. That can include tracking reactions, testing new ways of setting limits, or practicing short scripts for boundary conversations. These approaches aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods together. That means sessions can shift from listening and story work to skill practice or problem-focused tasks as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - shorter check-ins, fewer commute demands, or meetings that work around school or work schedules are all practical benefits to consider.
