About Katie

Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience and a background that began during undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky University and continued through a Master of Social Work completed in May 2019. Katie has worked as a Behavioral Health Specialist in community mental health and provides individual, group, and family therapy for adults aged 18 to 65.

Her approach emphasizes a compassionate, collaborative therapeutic relationship that centers client strengths and real-life context, including physical health, social supports, work or school, and spirituality. Katie blends client-centered practices with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to address symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She aims to partner with clients who want practical strategies and sustained change, helping them set goals and build skills to navigate challenges from panic attacks and obsessive patterns to grief, eating and sleeping problems, and burnout-related fatigue.

Approaches and Online Support for Real-World Challenges

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client's perspective to build a trusting relationship and identify goals, which helps when navigating life changes, relationship stress, or identity-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, panic, obsessions, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.

Deciding which approach feels right is part of the therapeutic process, and Katie works collaboratively with clients to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She draws from different approaches as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations. These formats provide flexibility in pacing, frequency, and communication style so clients can choose how they prefer to engage with a licensed professional and work toward practical improvements.
