Katherine (Kathy) De La Paz is a Licensed Master Social Worker, practicing under the supervision of Nikki Stark, LCSW-S, who is passionate about helping individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

Together, they focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening connection.
Alongside couples therapy, Kathy supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and collaborative, helping clients better understand the factors contributing to distress, develop healthier thought and behavior patterns, and build skills that support emotional regulation and resilience.
Kathy’s therapeutic style is warm, direct, and grounding. She brings over nine years of experience using evidence-based, strengths-focused approaches to help people gain clarity, improve communication, and move toward meaningful, lasting change—both individually and within their relationships.

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, your first call should be to the police. Second, you should find a safe place to stay. After you have started the process of taking care of these essentials, you will still have a great deal of emotional and psychological issues to address. There can be an intense feeling of betrayal and mistrust after someone you love hurts you. If the abuse has been occurring for a long time, there can be substantial fears and insecurities, as well as a difficult time forming new relationships and trust.
Victims of domestic violence have a tendency to blame themselves, or to think that they could have done something differently to stop the abuse. People of all socioeconomic classes, races, young and old, can all be victims of domestic violence. Sometimes this violence is an isolated incident, but often it is a long standing pattern. When you finally break free from this abusive relationship, you may feel lonely and confused. It may be hard to talk openly about the violence with other loved ones, and you may feel embarrassed about the fate of your relationship. Thriveworks Austin counselors understand the complicated emotional processes of domestic violence survivors and can help you start on the road to recovery.
Thriveworks Austin counselors are leaders in their field, ready to help you put the pieces of your life back together. We would be honored to put our expertise to work for you. We understand that it can be difficult to make that first call for help. With respect to this, we have appointments available for new clients within 24 hours. We are ready when you need us.
