Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University. She has five years of clinical experience and earlier work supporting people with moderate to severe disabilities in a range of settings.

Katie combines practical skills with a collaborative planning style. Together with a client she outlines clear goals and small, achievable steps between sessions. The process often involves learning coping strategies, practicing new communication skills, and tracking progress over time.

She encourages realistic pacing for change and checks in about what’s working. If someone is ready to begin, Katie guides the initial steps and helps map out follow-up sessions that match each person’s needs and schedule.

How Katie’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says matters most. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through problems and decide goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, or disordered eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments, useful for anger, mood swings, and strong stress reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so sessions stay relevant and helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that skill practice, tracking progress between meetings, and regular appointments translate well to remote sessions when schedules require flexibility.
