About Katherine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (ME LCSW) with 10 years of experience. Katherine Kaufmann focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and grief. She currently works full-time in a middle school setting and spends her clinical hours helping adolescents navigate difficult moments.
Katherine works in straightforward language and with concrete goals. She listens for what a teen or parent says matters most, then helps identify practical steps and skills to try between meetings. Sessions tend to focus on skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication in family relationships, and making day-to-day situations more manageable.
Her background in school-based social work means she is familiar with the pressures teens face during the school day. That experience informs how she supports stress and anxiety around academics, peer relationships, and transitions. She also brings experience supporting young people who have experienced trauma or abuse, offering steady, age-appropriate guidance.
Katherine encourages involvement from parents when it will help the teen’s progress. That can mean coaching on communication strategies, problem-solving around routines, or guidance about supporting a young person through grief or major life changes. She aims for clear, practical steps families can use right away.
If you are considering a first session, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Please confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches show up in online work
Many evidence-based approaches involve clear skills and steps that transfer well to conversations over distance. Skills-based techniques teach specific ways to notice and manage strong emotions, such as grounding or breathing exercises that help reduce immediate anxiety. These approaches are useful for stress, school-related anxiety, and day-to-day coping.Another common approach focuses on communication and problem-solving skills. That work helps teens and parents improve family interactions, set clearer boundaries, and handle conflicts with fewer escalations. It often includes role-play, planning, and homework between sessions to try new behaviors in real life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katherine works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a young person’s goals and family circumstances. She reviews progress and makes adjustments based on what is helping most.
