About Katie

Katie Newberry is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, anger, relationship concerns, and attention challenges such as ADHD. Her style is relaxed and straightforward to help people feel comfortable taking the first step toward change.

Katie emphasizes trust and respect as the foundation of her work. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's concerns and priorities, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit the goals. Sessions focus on practical skills, emotion regulation, and clear steps people can try between meetings.

Katie's background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. She has five years of experience in mental health roles and additional experience supporting people with moderate to severe disabilities in a range of settings. That mix informs a flexible approach to different challenges.

In sessions she keeps the tone calm and invitational. Conversations are paced to each person, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term coping strategies. She helps people build skills for managing mood, improving communication, and handling family or relationship stress.

People who want practical tools alongside a respectful listening space may find her approach useful. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through an initial matching and scheduling process to get started.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for people to describe their concerns and helps them set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities shift, and the plan will be adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support skill practice, emotion regulation, and problem solving in ways that fit daily routines and responsibilities.
