Katherine (Kate) Schenk, LPC

Katherine (Kate) Schenk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. She uses a client-centered way of working to help people name what feels hard and take the next practical steps. Kate emphasizes realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She brings four years of experience as a therapist focused on a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses less common but important areas such as jealousy, infidelity, process addictions, and first responder stress.

In sessions Kate blends several evidence-informed approaches. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, narrative practices, and a client-centered stance. That mix lets her tailor the work to each person's needs and goals.

People can expect a conversational style that centers their experience. Kate helps identify patterns, test small changes, and build coping skills for day-to-day life. She also helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.

Her practice is based in Pennsylvania and she conducts therapy in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Kate frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect priorities. Kate also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test practical behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems.

She pairs these methods with a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in front. Finding the right approach is collaborative; Kate will talk with each person about their needs, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is practical and paced to what the client can manage.
