Katharine Mahan

Katharine Mahan is an LCSW based in Texas who brings 27 years of clinical practice to her work with adults facing stress, grief, mood concerns, and major life transitions. She focuses on needs that arise from serious illness, caregiving responsibilities, cancer, and the personal changes that follow loss or shifting roles. Her approach centers on making people feel welcome and listened to in each session, whether meeting remotely or in person.

Katharine uses a client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Together with clients she outlines goals, develops practical coping tools, and plans for steps forward. In building those tools she draws from a range of methods, selecting strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness practices, and contemporary findings in neuroscience to tailor interventions to individual needs.

She aims to collaborate with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, self-esteem questions, communication challenges, and adjustment after major change. Katharine emphasizes individualized planning and ongoing adaptation of techniques so the work fits each client’s circumstances and preferences.
