About Katie

Katie Newberry is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience and a background that includes work across the lifespan and extensive experience with people who have moderate to severe disabilities, she blends practical skills with a collaborative, respectful approach. Katie favors a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that helps build trust and allows clients to engage at their own pace.

She draws on client-centered principles and solution-focused strategies while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her practice also addresses related areas such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, body image, communication problems, mood disorders, and challenges like isolation or life purpose questions.

Based in Alabama, Katie uses a wide skill set to co-create treatment plans and help clients make measurable progress. She encourages those taking the first step toward help and offers guidance for people ready to begin work on their goals.

Approaches That Inform Online Work and What to Expect

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely to the client’s experience and shaping sessions around their values and goals; it helps people feel heard and supported while exploring what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Katie approaches the choice of method collaboratively, recognizing that the best fit often evolves from conversation and trial. She works with clients to match techniques to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats support regular check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing problem solving without requiring travel, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and integrate therapy into daily life.
