Katherine Flechaus, LCSW

Katherine Flechaus is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience helping adults through major life changes and emotional struggles. She focuses on practical steps people can take to lessen anxiety, move past depression, and improve relationship and workplace communication. Her approach centers on collaboration and clear goals so clients know what comes next.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts that keep people stuck. That work often leads to small experiments clients can try between sessions to test new ways of coping. Katherine also draws on client-centered and narrative methods to listen closely and help clients make sense of their stories.

Many clients seek her help for career stress, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people confronting caregiving strain, hospice and end-of-life issues, and concerns that come with aging and geriatric issues. Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded in everyday life.

Katherine practices in Florida as an LCSW, and she frames therapy as a team effort. Sessions aim to build resilience, reduce shame or guilt, and clarify next steps. She helps people find manageable ways to improve relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Her style is compassionate and goal-oriented. People leave sessions with concrete strategies to try at home or work. To start, prospective clients follow the platform’s matching and scheduling process and arrange sessions based on availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are, helping clients feel heard and understood as they work toward change. It’s useful when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks concerns into small parts and tests new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and workplace or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will help clients choose or blend methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful during early sessions. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins between work or caregiving responsibilities. It can also let someone choose a shorter phone check-in when they need less screen time or pick a video meeting for longer conversations. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT or client-centered listening to online formats to keep therapy focused and practical.
