Briggs holds both LCPC and LPC credentials - LCPC refers to a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LPC refers to a Licensed Professional Counselor - and is authorized to practice in multiple states. She combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with a compassionate, strengths-based stance to assist clients who are working to regain stability and pursue recovery.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Practice

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and problems with impulsivity.

Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, supporting stress management and improved coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine (Katie) Briggs works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule and communication style. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that supports engagement and well-being.
