Background and approach
Katie helps people build coping skills for life transitions and recurring worries, and she works alongside them as they try new approaches. Her background includes nearly a decade of hands-on work in counseling settings in Georgia.
That time has given her experience with a wide range of concerns, from panic and social anxiety to obsessive-compulsive symptoms and challenges around body image and self-worth. She is familiar with issues that affect young adults and with women’s life transitions. In sessions people can expect a practical, down-to-earth style.
Katie listens first, then helps identify patterns and choices that get in the way. Together they set realistic steps to reduce anxiety, improve communication, or rebuild confidence. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s changing.
Katie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Conversations and scheduling are adapted to what works best for each person. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that fits the client’s schedule.
How Katie Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Katie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical changes. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding strategies, breaking down worry into manageable steps, and practicing short behavioral changes that reduce avoidance. This helps people facing panic attacks, social anxiety, or daily worry.A second approach targets negative self-image and low self-esteem by identifying unhelpful self-talk and building new, kinder ways of thinking. Sessions include small behavioral experiments to test beliefs and exercises that increase self-compassion and realistic self-assessment. This is useful for body image concerns and persistent self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not, so clients steer the process as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a conversational flow similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when a quieter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written summaries of goals, and short exercises between longer sessions. These options let clients fit therapy into work, school, or family routines without extra travel.
