About Katherine
Katherine Pettit is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. Katherine focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more confident.
Katherine uses Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work to build safety and trust in the room. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Katherine aims to help each person identify what matters most, break problems into manageable steps, and track small wins.
She emphasizes self-determination and helps people build skills they can use between sessions. People meet with Katherine by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

Online support
Attachment and Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Katherine commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so the person leads the pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine works with each person to understand their needs and preferences, then suggests methods that fit those goals. That collaboration helps set clear, achievable steps and keeps work practical and focused on real-life problems.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, step-by-step problem solving, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and try therapy in ways that fit daily life.
