About Katie

AL Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 5 years of clinical experience. Katie Newberry helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, ADHD, and family-related concerns. She also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and a range of mood and behavioral issues.

Katie uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and step-by-step changes that fit daily life. She prefers a relaxed style that encourages trust and straightforward conversation.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. The LICSW credential is held in Alabama and reflects five years working in mental health roles and related social work positions. Katie has experience across ages and in multiple roles supporting people with moderate to severe disabilities.

In sessions she blends evidence-based techniques with person-centered listening. That can mean learning coping skills from CBT, distress tolerance tools from DBT, or focusing on emotions and attachment patterns with EFT. She works with practical exercises, reflection, and short-term goals to help people make measurable progress.

To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Online options should be confirmed before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the person’s concerns and preferences while building trust and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT typically involves setting short homework tasks, practicing skills between sessions, and tracking progress together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that many people find useful for strong emotions and impulse control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The exact online session formats should be confirmed before booking. Confirmed session formats determine how exercises, worksheets, and skill practice are shared. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
