About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and money and financial issues. She brings six years of experience in mental health work and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Katie keeps things straightforward and grounded in real life.
Katie began in mental health during her undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky University and continued while working as a Behavioral Health Specialist. She completed a Master of Social Work (MSW) in May 2019 and moved into clinical practice. Her background includes work with individuals and groups, and she has supported adults across many life stages.
In sessions she aims for a warm, approachable style. She builds a working partnership and leans on clients' existing strengths. Conversations are aimed at clear goals and doable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws from several practical methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. She uses what fits a person’s needs, helping people try techniques and see what helps most in daily life.
Katie looks at whole-life factors that affect wellbeing. That includes physical health, social supports, work or school, and faith or spirituality when they matter to the person. She supports motivated clients who are willing to do the hard work of change.
How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person guides the agenda and the therapist follows. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns by making room for the person’s voice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems because it gives clear skills to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, impulsivity, and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends techniques and adjusts as progress is made so the treatment fits rather than forcing a single method.
Confirm current online session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio options that suit their comfort and bandwidth. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling process to pick what will work best for everyday life.
