Katie Donahoo

Owner & Trauma Specialist

I’m not the kind of counselor who just nods and reflects your words back at you.

I listen — really listen — and then I help you actually do something about it. My sessions tend to feel like talking to a trusted friend one minute and walking away with real skills the next. Validation matters. So does change. I don’t think you have to choose between the two.

I’ve been working in mental health for over a decade, but I started my career in Nebraska schools — first with alternative education programs, then with pre-adjudicated youth. I wanted to help kids. Over time, as I grew into this work, I found myself drawn more and more to adult women navigating the weight of what life has handed them. That’s where I do my best work today.

Trauma is what pulled me into this field — and it still fascinates me. Two people can live through the exact same experience and come out completely differently. One is traumatized. One isn’t. Understanding why, and helping people heal from genuinely horrific things, is work I find meaningful every single day.

I specialize in EMDR and TF-CBT — evidence-based approaches that actually move the needle rather than just help you cope. I also work with anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use.

I’m a Nebraska native, a mom, and a firm believer that online counseling is one of the most important things to happen to rural mental health care. If you’re in a small town with limited options — or just someone who values privacy and convenience — this is built for you.

Who I work best with: Adult women who are ready to do the work. Professional and semi-professional women who are high-functioning on the outside and exhausted on the inside. Women who want real answers, not just a safe place to vent — though we’ll do that too.

If that’s you, I’d love to connect.
