About Katherine

Katherine Magill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 26 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. She sees people for stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood disorders such as bipolar, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, depression, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.

Katherine draws on a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. She focuses on how past experiences and family roles continue to influence present behavior. In conversation she helps people name patterns, notice what keeps those patterns going, and try small changes to test a different way of relating.

Her work often uses attachment ideas to look at closeness and distance in relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and narrative work to reframe personal stories. Solution-focused steps are used when people want concrete, short-term goals and next actions.

She has prior experience in school settings and social services with adolescents and families, and many years in private practice. That background informs her work with parents, caregiving stress, aging concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Katherine also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, hoarding, and control or abandonment worries.

People who choose to work with her can expect conversations that combine listening with practical tools. She invites clients to set the pace and to try specific strategies between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. Online conversations can examine how those patterns show up now and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following what the person brings; in remote sessions this means the therapist uses the session to reflect, summarize, and help the person decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and often includes practical exercises people can try between sessions to test changes.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Katherine will talk with each person about goals and what methods seem most helpful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use video for face-to-face conversation, while others may rely on audio or messaging depending on what the therapist is offering. The emphasis is on finding ways of meeting that fit daily life and the practical needs of the person seeking help.
