About Katie

Katie Stevens brings 13 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Kansas, working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at removing obstacles and helping clients move toward meaningful personal goals. Katie emphasizes practical, solution-oriented work while remaining open to exploring life circumstances that contribute to current difficulties.

Her training as an LSCSW and LCSW informs a client-focused approach that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with elements of mindfulness and acceptance-based work. She values compassionate curiosity and offers a direct, nonjudgmental therapeutic presence where difficult topics can be addressed honestly.

Having lived in the Kansas City area for many years and originally from Nebraska, Katie also brings a grounded, relatable style and a genuine interest in each person's path to greater wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Methods for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by teaching skills for accepting difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or panic. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist provides understanding and support so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.



Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Katie works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions from these approaches to fit each person's situation. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and between-session follow-up. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from varied locations.
