Online Therapy In New York and Florida
About Me
Hello, I’m Kathryn
Owner of Conquering Challenges with Kathryn
Growing up as a neurodivergent child, I often felt like I didn’t quite belong. I struggled to fit in while masking my social anxiety, academic challenges, and an underlying sense of being different. Without the tools or language to understand what I was going through, I quietly battled depression and self-doubt.
As I got older, I began to uncover more about myself, including my bisexual, pansexual, and polyamorous identities, which helped explain why I had always felt a bit out of sync with the world around me.
Back then, no one really talked about mental health. It wasn’t until college that I finally met some of my people, folks who saw and accepted me. That’s when I began to step out of my shell, embrace my identity, and build real confidence.
Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, from outpatient addiction treatment to community mental health programs, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ affirming care. Each chapter has shaped the therapist I am today.
Now, my passion lies in helping others do what I once struggled to do:
Find their voice
Build healthy support systems
Manage and heal from anxiety, depression, and internalized shame
Create meaningful, lasting change
Cultivate self-love, empowerment, and emotional wellness

If you’re ready to show up for yourself and build the life you want, we’re here to help.
Therapy That Fits You
At Conquering Challenges with Kathryn, we believe healing happens when therapy meets you where you are. Our practice combines evidence-based techniques with a holistic, affirming approach that honors your unique identity, relationships, and goals. We’re here to help you stop Hitting the same wall over and over, and start living with clarity, self-trust, and purpose.
What You Can Expect
Support That Meets You Where You Are—And Helps You Grow
Therapy with me isn’t about surface, level talk or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about creating lasting, meaningful change through connection, honesty, and personalized care. Here’s what sets my approach apart:
Real Tools for Real Change
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or trauma, I use evidence-based methods like CBT, mindfulness, strength-based and trauma-informed approaches to help you break old patterns, manage symptoms, and feel more in control of your life. We'll focus on practical strategies that help you feel better, not just in session, but in your everyday world.
Warm, Grounded, and Collaborative
Therapy with me is down-to-earth, authentic, and judgment-free. Some days we’ll go deep. Other days we might laugh through the hard stuff. Either way, I’m here to walk beside you, not above you, as we explore your experiences, build self-trust, and move toward the life you want.
Inclusive and Identity-Affirming Care
As someone who personally understands the experience of feeling “different,” I provide a welcoming space for LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and ethically non-monogamous individuals. I offer gender-affirming care letters, and I center your identity, values, and lived experience in every session. You deserve support that honors all of who you are.
You're not broken—and you don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s find your path forward, together.
The Values That Guide My Practice
At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a space that’s safe, inclusive, and truly supportive, for all parts of you.
🧭 Integrity
Your growth is my priority. I show up with honesty, transparency, and a deep respect for your journey. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help connect you with someone who is, because your healing matters more than anything else.
💛 Compassion
You deserve to feel seen, heard, and cared for. I meet every client with warmth and empathy, holding space for all emotions, without judgment.
🌈 Unapologetic Authenticity
This is a space where you don’t have to shrink, mask, or hide. I bring my full, authentic self into our sessions, so you feel safe bringing yours. Real healing begins when we show up as we are.
You Deserve to Invest in You
You’ve carried the weight of fear, self-doubt, and the belief that “this is just how life is.” But what if that isn’t true?
You don’t have to keep living with racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or the anxiety that makes it hard to be fully yourself. You are not your diagnosis. You are not your pain. And you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Therapy is an act of self-trust. It’s saying, I’m worth the time, care, and effort it takes to heal.
There’s no perfect time to start, but there is power in starting now. Life won’t pause, but it can shift. Each day you put yourself off is a day you stay stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. You deserve more ease, more clarity, more you.
Let’s begin building the life you want, together.
