Katie Dean, LCSW

Katie Dean is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with three years of professional therapy experience and ten years in case management and human services. She focuses on trauma, relationships, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Katie also addresses abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, mood and personality concerns, post-traumatic stress, sexual difficulties, and women’s issues.

She works with teens and young adults, including those involved with juvenile justice services, helping them recover from trauma and build practical coping skills. Sessions emphasize clear strategies clients can use between meetings. Katie draws on evidence-based trauma treatments to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach is client-centered and trauma-informed. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change. She helps people identify patterns, practice new skills, and set realistic goals that fit their life.

In practical terms Katie combines structured techniques with guided processing. That can mean learning grounding and emotion regulation tools, doing focused memory work for traumatic events, or practicing new ways to handle relationship conflict. She explains each step and checks in about how it feels to try something different.

Getting started involves a simple process: complete a brief questionnaire, pick a time, and schedule an initial meeting. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
