About Katie
Katie Ball is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in MT and CA with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common emotional concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and help with major life changes. She also offers coaching to clarify goals and next steps.
Katie works with people who are juggling caregiving, relationship strain, and midlife transitions. She helps clients sort through family of origin issues, communication and commitment problems, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. Practical problems such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and feelings of isolation are part of her caseload.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people name their emotions, set realistic goals, and practice clearer communication. Sessions aim to build everyday skills you can use between appointments.
Katie takes a straightforward approach to work on control issues, codependency, jealousy, and forgiveness. She supports clients exploring life purpose and managing midlife challenges without jargon. Expect direct conversations about what is working and what to try next.
Her background includes eight years providing care across a range of adult concerns. Katie frames therapy as a hands-on process focused on problem solving, behavior change, and clearer decision making. To start she asks a few practical questions, then helps you pick an initial focus for the first sessions.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many of the approaches Katie uses are evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and practiced skills. Behavioral strategies look at what you do day to day and test small changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This approach helps when problems are linked to routines, avoidance, or habits that keep stress high.Another common element is communication skills training. That involves learning specific ways to express needs, set boundaries, and manage conflict so relationships feel more workable. These techniques are useful for commitment issues, jealousy, and family of origin concerns.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. She aims to combine practical exercises with regular check-ins so progress is clear and measurable.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work and caregiving into a schedule, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions to match your daily life and objectives.
