Katherine Crawford

Katherine Crawford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, respectful care and aims to make therapy approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Katherine emphasizes clear, compassionate conversation and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and depression. Katherine also supports those coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress. Isolation and loneliness are among the concerns she addresses, along with social anxiety and panic attacks.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and how to change them. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address troubling memories when that approach seems appropriate. Katherine tailors her use of these methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single technique to everyone.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then outlines steps that feel manageable. Conversations cover practical skills, emotional processing, and everyday coping strategies.

People often begin by naming one or two pressing problems. From there Katherine helps set short-term goals and checks in on progress. The aim is steady, realistic change and greater ease in day-to-day life.

How CBT and EMDR can work in online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social anxiety and emphasizes practical exercises and homework. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix of methods makes the most sense. Sessions include shared decision making about pacing, techniques, and short-term goals so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, make follow-up shorter, or reduce travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can support progress through structured exercises, memory processing, and ongoing check-ins tailored to your needs.
