About Katie
Katie Newberry is an Alabama LICSW with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues of guilt and shame. She also supports people coping with life changes, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.
Katie earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. She has several years of experience working with people who have moderate to severe disabilities across different settings. Her background includes work with clients from school age through older adulthood in mental health roles as a social worker.
Her style in session is relaxed and down-to-earth. She emphasizes building trust and respect first. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear goals rather than formal ceremony.
Katie uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed techniques. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness strategies when useful. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and manage difficult feelings related to guilt, shame, or past hurts.
In sessions she works with concrete skills and short-term tools as well as deeper narrative work when needed. She aims to collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s life and concerns. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Katie works from client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and often brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, using conversational support to identify what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT supplies practical tools for regulating strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with shame, guilt, or anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting skill-building and narrative work, and pacing sessions according to how the client responds.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and DBT skills practice in between appointments to support progress.
