About Katie
Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. Katie also addresses concerns related to attachment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and family of origin patterns.
Katie uses an eclectic, solution-focused approach alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques. In short sessions she helps people identify clear goals and practical next steps. She offers Christian counseling when clients request faith-informed support and integrates those values into goal-setting and coping skills as appropriate.
In an initial meeting she invites clients to describe their situation and what they hope to change. She answers questions about the process and shares simple tools and resources to try between sessions. The focus is on concrete strategies that can reduce anxiety, improve communication, and make daily life more manageable.
Her experience includes working with clients dealing with abandonment, codependency, commitment and control issues, caregiver stress, and recovery from divorce or domestic violence. Katie also supports people coping with emptiness, dependent personality patterns, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions emphasize problem-solving and skill practice. Katie aims to help people clarify priorities, strengthen relationships where possible, and navigate the practical steps after major life changes. She works in English and practices in South Carolina as an LISW-CP.
Approach-focused online sessions and practical tools
Katie commonly uses solution-focused work and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Solution-focused work centers on identifying small, achievable steps and immediate goals to change patterns that feel stuck. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice new coping skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the situation at hand. That means checking what works, adjusting methods, and emphasizing skills that feel useful in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care after a job, school, or household change. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and resources so they work well in remote sessions, and Katie aims to help clients practice skills between meetings so progress continues outside the appointment.
