About Katie
Katie Newberry is an AL Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. Katie also lists ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes among her concerns.
She writes plainly with a relaxed counseling style and values trust and respect in sessions. Conversations are client-centered and solution-focused. Katie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. Before clinical licensure she worked in mental health roles and supported people with moderate to severe disabilities in several settings.
In sessions she uses practical skills and step-by-step strategies alongside listening and reflection. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or mapping changes people want to make in daily life. The focus is on small, doable steps that fit into real schedules.
Katie frames therapy as collaborative. She and the person in therapy check what is working and adjust plans over time. People who are weighing a career change, recovering after loss, or feeling stuck about what comes next often find this approach useful.
How Katie Uses Practical Approaches in Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies concerns, and reflects what is said to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with the person about their goals, try techniques from different approaches, and decide together what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, problem solving, or deeper processing of past events.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Katie aims to match methods and scheduling to everyday life obligations while reviewing progress and adjusting plans over time.
