About Katherine
Katherine Maestre-Caro draws on 25 years of clinical experience and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing relationship strain, trauma, grief, and depression. She offers a calm, straightforward approach and centers each session on the person in front of her.
Katherine speaks English and Spanish and is licensed as an LPC and as an LCPC in Maryland and holds LPC credentials in Virginia and the District of Columbia. Katherine believes people already have strengths to build on.
How Katherine works
In sessions she listens closely, helps identify those strengths, and works with clients to set practical goals. Conversations focus on day-to-day challenges like sleep problems, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, and difficulties with intimacy or trust. Her background includes long experience addressing trauma, sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and complex grief.
She also supports people dealing with fertility and immigration stresses, jealousy and infidelity, and personality-related struggles. Treatment centers on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Katherine uses direct, compassionate conversation to help people learn new ways of relating and coping.
She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns and helps people practice different responses in real life. Progress is tracked through small, measurable changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Katherine encourages questions about options and works with clients to set a rhythm that fits their schedules and goals. Initial steps include a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes in everyday life; this helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and low self-esteem. Another approach pays attention to attachment and communication patterns in relationships, teaching new ways to connect and respond to conflict or intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your history, goals, and current problems and then suggest techniques to try. You and the therapist will check progress together and adjust methods based on what helps most for your situation.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, allow for easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals can work with you to set a plan that matches your goals and schedule.
