About Katie
Katie Newberry is an Alabama Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and problems tied to family of origin issues. Katie also supports people coping with grief, anger, ADHD, and life changes.
Katie draws on several practical methods to help people make changes. She uses client-centered techniques to focus on each person’s priorities. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness tools are used for grounding and present-moment awareness.
Her style is relaxed and direct. Sessions focus on specific goals and skill building rather than long theory talks. Conversations aim to clarify patterns that started in childhood and how they still show up today in relationships, self-esteem, and daily choices.
Before clinical practice she earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. Katie has additional experience working with people who have moderate to severe disabilities in several roles over more than six years.
Sessions typically look like a focused conversation with practical takeaways. Katie works with people who want to address family patterns, improve communication, reduce anxiety, or develop coping skills for mood problems. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens for what matters most, and shapes sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes concrete exercises and tools to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to identify the methods that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change, so the plan can adapt over time.
