More about Kathryn

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW

Hi, my name is Katy Stokes (she/her) and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with over 10 years of experience working with people experiencing grief and loss, unexpected life changes, family or parenting stress, and generalized stress and anxiety. I am culturally-affirming, believe all people deserve to be listened to without judgment or shame, and treat each client with dignity and respect. I fully affirm and welcome LGBTQIA+ persons.

My therapy style is warm, non-judgmental, and at your pace. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and narrative therapies. You will find a safe therapeutic space to explore and take the first steps toward healing. It is an honor to co-create that space with you and to support and empower you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
