More about Katherine
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with over 10 years of experience as a therapist working with individuals with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, co-dependency, addiction, brain injury, trauma and abuse. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and a certified brain injury specialist and I have gained my experience by working in different settings such as correctional environments, in patient and out patient rehabilitation and community based settings.
I consider myself to be a theoretically integrated clinician who places value on a client centered approach. I believe that it is important to support individuals with identifying challenges and help them to construct realistic and achievable goals in order to build insight and confidence for success. It is not always easy to ask for help, but you are not alone in your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kate Schenk has been the most amazing therapist that I have had. She listens attentively and gives sound advice and solutions to any problems I might be struggling with.
Kate is a wonderful listener and provides added insight into topics I bring up. Having her help and support has been so valuable in seeing my own blind spots and given me the ability to work through things on my own.
Kate is great.
I cam to Kate a few months ago and I was a MESS to say the least. Kate has been nothing short of AMAZING. I honestly could not have come this far in just a few short months without her! I know my journey is just beginning but I'm so glad to have her in my corner during the process.
Shes seriously the best. She males me feel comfortable and I can take to her about anything. Her guidance has been amazing I all ways. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable talking.
She has been very helpful and has provided me with great therapy options to fit my schedule and home life.
Kate is an incredible counselor... kind, patient, insightful and trustworthy. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a counselor who treats you like an empathetic and supportive friend.
Excellent therapist, very empathetic and great listener-provides helpful feedback as well.
Kate is easy to talk to, a great listener, and provides thoughtful and useful feedback no matter the communication method. I can tell she cares a lot about her clients and creates the space needed for them to freely discuss and work through things with her help.
Kate is warm and considerate, with a great sense of humor! She helps create a safe space while placing the onus of progress on the client. This allows the client to develop a sense of confidence, and start achieving his/her own goals with her supportive guidance. Therapy is challenging work, but in Kate, you've got a great teammate by your side!
I was skeptical if counseling would work for me or even be for me but Kate is nothing short of amazing! I couldn’t be happier. She’s helping me get through past and present relationship issues.
Great thoughts and listener
Kate Schenk is the best therapist I’ve had yet and I absolutely recommend her to anyone. She is very responsive, perfectly communicative, and a genuinely lovely person to talk over things with. I’ve always felt 100% comfortable talking to her, and she is extremely intuitive and gentle with her responses. I’m so so glad that I have been able to be connected with the first therapist who has genuinely helped me, and I’ve never been more actively involved n therapy before I met Kate. Deeply grateful for her and everything she has helped me with thus far in my long mental health journey.
I love working with Kate. She has helped me deal with my stress in so many ways.
