About Katherine
I'm Katherine LeBlanc, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the field. I hold a Masters in Social Work and have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments.
I support young adults and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, and relational trauma. My work blends evidence-based care with a humanistic, whole-person approach. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and deeply reflective—focused on helping you build emotional clarity, secure relationships, and sustainable change.
I take a "person in the environment" approach, thinking about your interactions and relationships within the micro-to-macro systems that surround you. Much of the deeper work done by my clients surrounds themes of perfectionism, childhood attachment wounds, and healing from relational trauma.

Is This You?
My ideal clients are curious, self-aware individuals who are ready to invest in their emotional well-being. They may be navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or major life transitions and want more than surface-level coping strategies. They're seeking insight, clarity, and real change — not quick fixes. They value thoughtful support, meaningful reflection, and a therapist who can both challenge and guide them.
Services
I offer a range of counseling services tailored to meet your unique needs. Every therapeutic journey is different, and I'm here to meet you where you are.
One-on-one sessions focused on your unique challenges, goals, and growth. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the surface and build strategies for lasting change through collaborative, reflective work.
Navigate relationship challenges, improve communication, and strengthen your bond. I have expertise in helping both men and women who struggle with building intimacy in their relationships.
Access quality mental health care from the comfort of your home. Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions available for clients in Washington DC, Massachusetts, and California.
Work through family dynamics, improve communication patterns, and build stronger connections. I help families navigate change, conflict, and transition together.
Standalone or short-term consultative sessions for parents seeking guidance around a child's emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs — without immediately enrolling the child in therapy.
Additional therapeutic support during periods of significant change such as divorce, grief, postpartum adjustment, caregiving, relocation, or major life decisions.
Ways I Support Clients Beyond Sessions
Care that's personalized — not protocol-driven. Support that extends beyond the therapy hour when you need it.
All care is individualized. These options are designed to support continuity and responsiveness — not to standardize therapy.
When questions arise between appointments
Brief, secure messaging support between sessions for moments when questions arise, emotions feel overwhelming, or clarity is needed. Many challenges occur outside the therapy hour — this option allows care to continue in a supportive, contained way.
Boundaries are maintained to ensure care remains ethical and sustainable.
Personalized session reflections
Brief written reflections after sessions highlighting key themes, tools, and points of focus — designed to help you integrate therapy into daily life. Especially supportive for clients who want to remember, reflect, and apply insights between sessions.
Support for families
Consultative sessions for parents seeking guidance around a child's emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs. This collaborative approach provides practical guidance and support without immediately enrolling the child in therapy.
This is not therapy for the child — it's support and guidance for you as a parent.
Available when clinically appropriate
When helpful, I collaborate with schools, prescribers, pediatricians, or other providers to support continuity of care. This ensures everyone involved in your wellbeing is working together effectively.
Available when helpful and clinically appropriate.
Areas of Focus
I support young adults and adults managing a range of challenges. Here are some areas where I can provide support.
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, worry, and overwhelm
Focus, executive function, and building sustainable strategies
Low mood, hopelessness, and emotional heaviness
Attachment wounds and healing from difficult relationships
Processing loss and finding meaning through change

Self-criticism, imposter syndrome, and self-compassion
My Approach
I take a humanistic approach to support clients, focusing on your existing strengths, challenging limiting self-narratives, and building healthy patterns of behavior. I take a conversational tone in therapy, ensuring I discuss clinical topics in a way that is meaningful and easily applied to your daily life.
My approach to goal setting is all about collaborating to identify your focus, needs, core values, and what it means to be you. You are the expert in you — developing trust is always the first step to achieving any goals you bring to therapy.
We collaborate to understand your unique story, strengths, and goals.
Building a safe, genuine therapeutic relationship is the foundation of change.
Insights are meaningful when they can be applied to your daily life.
We focus on lasting transformation, not quick fixes.

Common Questions
I work with a limited number of clients using insurance through Headway. Insurance availability depends on current caseload, and openings may not always be available.
If insurance-covered openings are unavailable, you may choose to book a private-pay session or check back later for availability updates through Headway.
Private-pay and insurance-based services cannot be combined within the same session.
All sessions are scheduled through Headway, which provides secure booking and handles insurance verification when applicable. Click "Book Now (Headway)" to get started.
Telehealth sessions take place over secure video. Many clients find them just as personal and connected as in-person care, with the added convenience of being able to attend from home.
I am licensed to provide therapy in Washington DC, Massachusetts, and California. You must be physically located in one of these states during our sessions.
