About Katie
Katie Newberry is an Alabama LICSW with five years of clinical social work experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also offers support around ADHD and blended family issues. Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Katie keeps her approach straightforward and down-to-earth. She favors client-centered and solution-focused conversation, and she brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed ideas into sessions when helpful. The emphasis is on practical skills people can use between meetings to manage mood, anxiety, or overwhelm.
Before becoming a clinician she spent several years supporting people with moderate to severe disabilities and has experience across age groups from school-aged clients to older adults. Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama, followed by licensure as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. This background shapes an approach that notices real-life barriers and routines.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and respect so people can talk openly about difficult choices. Conversations often include concrete tools such as thought records, behavior experiments, grounding practices, and communication skills. For someone navigating step-parenting, co-parenting conflict, or the logistics of a blended household, she works on clear steps and problem-solving rather than theory alone.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In online sessions this looks like the therapist reflecting concerns, asking practical questions, and helping the client set short-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT work often includes simple exercises, thought records, and experiments to try between sessions that fit well into a weekly schedule. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be useful for managing strong reactions and impulsive behavior.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to identify goals and then adapts techniques to those goals. That means sessions may include skill teaching, role-play of difficult conversations, or planning small behavior changes to test between meetings.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can attend from wherever they are. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between in-person visits and to practice real-life communication and coping tools.
