About Katie
Katie Newberry is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and mood concerns. She also supports those facing relationship strain, life changes, attention differences, and issues tied to trauma or family history. Katie keeps sessions relaxed and straightforward.
She focuses on building trust and respect first. That makes it easier for people to talk honestly and try new ways of coping. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University.
Background and approach
She has five years of clinical experience and several additional years working with people who have moderate to severe disabilities in other roles. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and practical skills from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means conversations focus on current problems, useful strategies, and small experiments people can try between meetings.
Katie also uses elements of dialectical behavior work and emotionally focused ideas when they fit a person's goals. She adapts tools to each person's needs instead of following one fixed plan. Taking a first step can feel hard, and Katie frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps people set realistic goals, track progress, and strengthen skills for handling anger, stress, or life transitions.

How Katie blends approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals from their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills that can help with strong emotions and relationship stress.Katie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss what feels most useful and try different tools based on your needs and goals. That collaborative process helps decide whether skills work, whether a focus on feelings or on practical steps is best, and how to adapt techniques for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for full conversations and exercises, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
