About Katie
Katie Kanatzar is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with three years of experience as an LCSW. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical help and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Katie uses evidence-based techniques and straightforward strategies in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice coping skills, and try small changes that can alter daily routines. Conversations often include ways to manage anxious moments, process difficult events, and rebuild self-confidence.
Her work also pays attention to attachment concerns and caregiver stress. That can mean looking at how past relationships affect present ones, or finding methods to reduce burnout and overwhelm. Communication problems, control issues, and social anxiety are addressed with concrete steps clients can practice between meetings.
Katie recognizes the role of guilt, shame, and forgiveness in recovery. She supports people working through those emotions and toward greater self-acceptance. Life purpose and meaning after big changes are discussed in plain terms, with focus on what actions might feel doable next.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on the client's aims. People who prefer direct, practical conversation about coping, behavior, and goals may find this approach useful. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
She draws on evidence-based techniques to help with symptoms and daily functioning. One approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active, then testing small changes to see what helps. Another approach teaches practical coping skills for mood and trauma-related symptoms, such as breathing and grounding practices and stepwise behavioral changes to reduce avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try, adapting methods based on goals, needs, and how someone responds in early sessions. The plan can change as progress and challenges become clearer.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they focus on skill practice, planning, and reflection that can be done between meetings.
