About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in life. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning. Her style is warm and approachable, and she values a respectful working relationship built on partnership and honesty.
Katie began her work in mental health while completing an undergraduate degree at Western Kentucky University.
Background and approach
She went on to work as a behavioral health specialist at a community mental health agency while earning a Master of Social Work. After finishing the MSW in May 2019 she moved into clinical practice and continued offering individual and group support.
She has worked with adults from 18 to 65 and with a range of concerns including addiction, trauma, grief, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Katie uses common-sense strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches along with motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people make changes.
Sessions emphasize identifying strengths, building coping skills, and addressing life areas that affect well-being such as work, relationships, physical health, and supports. Katie encourages steady progress through small, achievable steps and practical homework when it helps. Her approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
She listens first, then helps clients choose which tools to try next based on their goals and daily demands.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. It involves listening closely and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. It often uses short exercises and practical techniques to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands, then recommend starting points and adjust strategies over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful for a full session with visual connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not desired. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while trying specific CBT and DBT tools in everyday life.
