Hi, I'm Katie! I am so glad you’re here. From experience, I know reaching out for help can be hard. That may seem cliche, but one of my favorite things to do is see people grow and change the course of their life. Whether you are working through a life change, anxiety, depression, trauma, or gender identify issues, I am here for you. I believe you already have everything within you to succeed and I am just here to guide you in this important journey towards health and wellness! I also believe one of the very most important aspects of your success in therapy is a connection with your therapist - one where you can be authentic, speak your full truth, and feel heard. My therapeutic approach includes humor, empathy, openness, and dialogue. I utilize trauma-informed approaches and techniques and change these approaches to best meet the individual needs of my clients. How I see it is as such: your past experiences inform how you see the world now. Your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviors are all playing off of one another. So, if you change one, you can change the rest. Let’s get your mind right!
I got my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!!!) and have lived between Ohio and Michigan my whole life. In my spare time I enjoy playing with my puppy, Ruby, eating at yummy restaurants and watching marathons of my favorite shows or sports. If you are ready to take control of your mental health, I’m right here with you!

03 · What happens next
Katelynn practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Katelynn's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Katelynn at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Katelynn is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Katelynn.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

Katelynn's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Katelynn. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
