About Katie
Katie Kanatzar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with three years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Her stated focus also includes trauma, self-esteem, and issues connected to guilt and shame.
Katie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name patterns that get in the way. Conversations often move toward practical skills for coping and clearer ways to communicate with others.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. That can mean building coping tools, experimenting with new behavior patterns, or looking at how past experiences influence current feelings. Sessions are paced to fit what a person can manage in daily life.
Katie also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment concerns, control issues, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She pays attention to mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and struggles around self-love and forgiveness.
People who prefer straightforward, skill-focused work may find her approach helpful. She encourages setting clear goals and checking progress over time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.
How Katie uses evidence-based approaches online
Katie identifies evidence-based therapeutic techniques as part of her work. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and behavior change. This involves identifying unhelpful patterns, trying new responses in day-to-day life, and tracking what helps reduce stress or anxiety.Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic events and their emotional impact. That work often includes slowing down difficult memories, naming reactions, and building skills to manage strong feelings so they interfere less with daily tasks and relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts pace and methods as progress is noticed or priorities change.
