Katharine Mocciola, PsyD

(pronounced: Moss-ee-o-la)

I’m a clinical psychologist, a mother of two, and someone who values both depth and presence in everyday life.

I love making my kids laugh, listening to live music, and finding poetic beauty in the mundane - whether that’s a cup of tea, a great book, or the grounding presence of the animals who share our home.

That sense of steadiness carries into my work.

My Values

I’m deeply committed to helping people recognize their strengths, their capacity to endure profound pain, and their ability to find their way through great challenge.

Again and again, I’ve seen that people are far more resilient - and far more capable of growth - than they initially believe.

Education & Training

  • Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD), Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology

  • Predoctoral Internship: White River Junction VA Medical Center; Dartmouth College Counseling Center; National Center for PTSD

Treatment Approach

My approach integrates evidence-based treatments with a steady, relational presence. While I draw from several therapeutic modalities, the foundation of our work is a collaborative relationship - one where you can feel supported enough to slow down, reflect, and begin to shift long-standing patterns.

I have specialized training in:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD

  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

In the early phases of therapy, we focus on understanding what brings you in, what matters to you, and what you would like to be different in your life. Together, we clarify your goals and identify a path forward.

Our work is tailored to your needs, with an emphasis on creating meaningful, lasting change. Some people seek short-term support or consultation, while others engage in longer-term work. We move at a pace that feels supportive and aligned with your goals.
