About Kathryn

Kathryn Gargett is a Maryland-based therapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions. She brings 14 years of experience and guides clients through practical steps to manage day-to-day struggles. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people gain skills they can use right away.

She focuses on improving executive functioning and self-regulation for people with ADHD and on the autism spectrum. Kathryn uses a strengths-based approach to help clients build routines, handle overwhelm, and approach social situations with more confidence.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on small, workable changes that add up over time. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, among other approaches, to teach coping tools and problem-solving strategies. She helps people notice patterns, test new responses, and practice skills between sessions.

That practical focus makes therapy feel useful from the start. Kathryn also supports people dealing with grief, relationship stress, addiction concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. She pays attention to how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors interact and tailors conversations to the person in front of her.

The aim is to build resilience and clearer direction. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. Kathryn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting hard emotions. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and challenges around motivation or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, mood disorders, sleep problems, and impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for role-play or teaching skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports between-session practice. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules and try different ways of communicating while working toward clearer routines and coping skills.
