About Kathryn

Kathryn Perry is a licensed mental health professional in Nebraska who helps people move from feeling stuck to building a more balanced life. She draws on a strengths-based outlook to help clients name priorities, set attainable goals, and practice skills that support everyday functioning.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical work, she focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach blends practical skill-building with thoughtful exploration of values and attachment patterns, using therapies like cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-informed work.

Kathryn also supports people facing eating and body-image struggles, parenting and blended-family challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes. She offers a calm, goal-oriented way of working that emphasizes clients' existing strengths while teaching tools for coping and emotional regulation.

Kathryn holds the credentials LIMHP and LMHP (NE LIMHP 2531, NE LMHP 5009) and provides services in English. She accepts clients via online formats and structures care so people can choose the session style that best fits their schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Kathryn often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and behaviors. CBT offers structured exercises and strategies that translate well to remote work, supporting change through repeated practice and feedback.

She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to meaningful actions. ACT can be particularly helpful for clients navigating grief, identity concerns, or life transitions by emphasizing psychological flexibility rather than symptom elimination.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions accordingly, adapting tools from CBT, ACT, attachment-informed work, and other methods so those tools fit the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care without extensive travel or schedule disruption. These formats make it possible to practice skills in the context of daily life and maintain continuity of care when routines change, while still receiving structured guidance from a licensed professional.
