About Katherine

Katherine Magill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as bipolar, and relationship and intimacy-related problems. She also helps people coping with grief, anger, life changes, and ADHD. Katherine speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

She began her career working in schools and social services, supporting adolescents and their families before moving into private practice. That background informs how she listens for patterns that link current struggles to earlier experiences. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps and clearer ways of relating rather than labels and jargon.

Katherine uses a mix of approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, solution-focused strategies, and client-centered counseling. She explains ideas plainly, offers concrete tools, and encourages small experiments to change behavior and thinking. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and make daily life feel more manageable.

Her style is interactive and respectful. She invites clients to set the pace and to bring whatever matters most into sessions. When complex trauma or intense mood symptoms appear, she draws on approaches that address safety, coping skills, and stabilizing routines.

Clients often bring family of origin problems, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness concerns, or struggles with control, abandonment, and forgiveness. Katherine helps people sort these issues, clarify priorities, and plan realistic next steps.

How sessions work

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. Online sessions can use discussion and reflection to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered counseling focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. In an online setting this often looks like checking priorities each session and adjusting goals based on what is most useful. Cognitive behavioral techniques teach concrete skills to change thoughts and actions. These can include simple behavior experiments, thought records, and planning routines that fit into a person’s week.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals and preferences. That means trying practical strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan when needed so the work stays relevant to home and family concerns.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow work without travel time. They can also support continuing care after an in-person contact and make it simpler to involve school schedules or caregiving routines when planning appointments.
