Dr Katherine Lou

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

I have specialized training in behavioral medicine and have a variety of experience in hospital and primary care and settings. Currently, I accept BCBS, Aetna, and Medicare insurance plans. I also accept Optum/UnitedHealthcare Medicare supplement and Medicare Advantage plans, but not employer-based plans.

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Boston, Massachusetts. I provide online therapy, CBT, and cognitive rehabilitation for anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and physical disabilities. I tailor treatment to your needs and use evidence-based methods in a direct, respectful style.

Approach

I aim to create a warm, welcoming environment built on a foundation of trust and understanding. Together, we will work to identify your goals, problem-solve, and develop healthy strategies to meet them. I am trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, that I integrate into my treatment, and my overall approach is active and strengths-based. Inclusion is a central value to my practice, and I continuously strive to affirm different forms of diversity, such as race, religion, gender identity, and sexuality.

Basic Information

Available for new appointments

Services


In my practice, I see adults aged 21 and over for the following types of service:

Diagnostic Assessment

Initial assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan to develop objective outcome-based goals.

Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy focused on achieving outcome-based goals established in the treatment plan.

Teletherapy

I offer services using online teletherapy, a rapidly developing area of innovation within the mental health field. Research has found teletherapy to be equal to in-person therapy in terms of diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care, and client satisfaction. It allows added convenience and offers expanded access to care. Your appointment is the same length as an in-person session and is scheduled the same way
