About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She works with adults on challenges like depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. Katie focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
Katie uses a warm, straightforward style. She aims to build a trusting connection and then work together on realistic goals.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and what is already working in their lives. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that fuel upset and to test new ways of responding. She also uses dialectical behavior skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Katie includes client-centered and motivational strategies to keep work practical and rooted in each person’s priorities. She pays attention to how sleep, physical health, social supports, work, and faith or spirituality affect well-being. Her background includes work as a behavioral health specialist and clinical practice after completing a Master of Social Work in May 2019.
Katie has experience with individual and group work and has supported adults across a wide age range. She collaborates with people who are ready to try change and who want concrete tools for daily life.

How Katie’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. The therapist listens closely and helps clients set goals that matter to them and pace the work to fit their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many daily struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; it helps when reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That might mean starting with skill-building, then adding motivational or narrative work if that fits better.
Online sessions let people access therapy without travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options aim to make regular work more feasible around busy lives.
