About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Morrissey Stahl helps people facing stress, anxiety, phobias, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, parenting challenges, mood changes, and LGBT-related issues.
She introduces a calm, nonjudgmental presence so people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort. In sessions Dr. Stahl listens for patterns in attachment, communication, and reactions to stress.
She helps people notice those patterns and try different ways of responding. That might include working through panic symptoms, obsessive worries, or fears that get in the way of daily life. She also supports people navigating life changes such as separation, caregiving and end-of-life concerns, or questions about gender and identity.
When anger, guilt, or shame come up, she helps people name those feelings and find manageable ways to move forward. Her approach is collaborative. People set the pace and priorities, and she offers tools and feedback rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
The aim is to build skills that make day-to-day life feel more manageable and purposeful.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Dr. Stahl uses common evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, phobias, and relationship patterns. One approach focuses on exposure and gradual practice - helping people face feared situations in small, controlled steps so avoidance decreases and confidence grows. Another approach centers on skills training for emotion regulation and communication so people can manage panic, anger, and relationship conflicts more effectively.Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what’s working, adjust goals, and try different exercises together. This shared planning helps match methods to the person’s needs, pace, and preferences rather than applying a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
