About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience in mental health. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and grief, and helps people navigate life changes and relationship or intimacy concerns. She uses practical strategies to address sleep, eating, parenting, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Katie aims for clear, down-to-earth work in sessions. She builds a trusting relationship and partners with clients to identify strengths and next steps.
How Katie works
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what’s affecting daily functioning. Her background includes a Master of Social Work and work as a behavioral health specialist at a community mental health agency. She has experience with individual and group work and has supported adults through a wide range of mental health concerns.
That front-line background shaped her focus on real-life skills and coping strategies. Katie draws on several methods to fit each person’s needs. She commonly uses client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation.
Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools also appear in her work when motivation or present-moment skills are important. People who prefer straightforward language and clear steps tend to do well with her style. She pays attention to how health, relationships, work or school, and personal values affect progress.
Katie works with English-speaking clients and offers sessions online to reach people across Kentucky and beyond.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and what matters most to them. It’s about listening, reflecting, and helping someone make choices that fit their values and life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD symptoms.Katie will work with clients to figure out which approach or combination feels right. She treats finding the best method as a collaborative process - listening to goals, trying tools, and adjusting as needed. Together the therapist and client track what helps and pivot when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter live check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or situations when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain continuity of care across locations.
