About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with six years of experience in mental health care. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship and family struggles, grief, addiction, and life changes. Katie also supports issues like parenting, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career or money-related stress.
Katie began her work while studying at Western Kentucky University and completed a Master of Social Work in May 2019. She practiced as a Behavioral Health Specialist in a community mental health setting before moving into clinical practice. Her background includes group and individual work, and she has worked with adults aged 18 to 65.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She focuses on building a positive working relationship and uses clients' strengths to address day-to-day problems. Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and clear steps to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.
Katie blends several methods in her work including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. She draws from these to help with anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and related concerns. The work can include education about symptoms and tools to manage intense emotions.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions that look at life areas affecting well-being - physical health, social supports, work or school, and spiritual or faith factors. She supports international clients and offers sessions in English. To confirm current session formats, readers should check the therapist's profile options before booking.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and collaborates with the client to set goals and priorities, which can help when frustration or resentment builds.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and homework to manage anxiety, anger, or sleep and eating issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for people who frequently lose their temper or struggle with intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend options. That shared decision makes it easier to try approaches that fit day-to-day life.
