01 · Who Kathia works with
Kathia lists 9 specialisms and 40 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Kathia chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Kathia's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, and welcome!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York State, with over 4 years of professional experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and across the lifespan. My clinical experience includes working with veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, children in assessment settings, and older adults. I have also worked as an Emergency Room clinician and in both inpatient and outpatient settings, providing support to individuals navigating a variety of life challenges.
I specialize in helping individuals manage stress and anxiety, cope with depression and substance use challenges, and navigate major life transitions. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and collaborative, incorporating talk therapy and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual's unique needs, experiences, and goals.
I am committed to treating every individual with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself, exploring challenges, and working toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I commend you for taking that step. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you along your journey toward growth, healing, and emotional well-being.

03 · What happens next
Kathia 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 Kathia'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 Kathia at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kathia 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 Kathia.
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.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Kathia actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kathia's - Kathia has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
