About Katherine
Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps for everyday struggles like relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and burnout. Katherine uses a calm, direct style and aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable.
She helps clients sort through painful memories and reactions after trauma and abuse. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building coping tools, and practicing new ways to respond to triggers.
Background and approach
Katherine pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, adoption or foster care experiences, and blended family challenges. Katherine draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means she might help a person notice thoughts without getting stuck, challenge unhelpful thinking, or work on emotional connection in important relationships.
She works with issues like depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addiction, and anger by focusing on clear, manageable goals. Her style is collaborative and rooted in empathy. She listens first, then suggests steps that fit a person's life and values.
Katherine has four years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW in North Carolina. People can expect a practical focus in sessions: skill building, communication practice, and short-term strategies for coping with life changes. She also provides longer-term support for deeper patterns like abandonment wounds, control issues, or difficulties trusting others.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences control actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.Katherine approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick the best approach based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies in session, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and moments when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
