About Katie
Katie Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with six years working in mental health. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and trauma, addiction and ADHD. Her practice also addresses parenting, sleep and eating issues, intimacy and body image, and work or money pressures.
She began her work during undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky University and completed a Master of Social Work in May 2019. Before and during graduate school she worked as a Behavioral Health Specialist in a community mental health agency. That background includes experience in group and individual work, and with adults across many life stages.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can take to improve day-to-day functioning. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior skills, alongside client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing. Sessions are aimed at identifying strengths and building skills to handle specific problems such as panic attacks, compulsive thoughts, or persistent low mood.
Katie pays attention to how physical health, support systems, work or school, and spiritual beliefs affect well-being. She works with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time. The emphasis is on steady change through effort and skill practice rather than quick fixes.
People who want straightforward, skill-focused help with everyday struggles often find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts work from Kentucky as an LCSW.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-damaging behaviors.She also uses client-centered techniques where the conversation and the client's priorities guide the work. Motivation and goals are agreed together so the client and therapist can decide which techniques to use. That collaborative approach helps match methods to what the person actually needs and prefers.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone use therapy during a work break or from a different location than their usual one. A licensed professional will help plan how sessions look and what skills to practice between meetings.
