About Katie
Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, and coping with life changes. Katie also addresses family of origin issues and related concerns listed in her areas of focus. She offers Christian counseling as part of her approach.
Katie uses an eclectic, solution-focused style that draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas. She aims to help people set clear goals and learn practical skills for managing mood, communication, and everyday stress. Sessions are conversational and direct, with concrete tools and suggestions offered as needed.
Her work often includes helping clients untangle patterns that come from their family of origin. That can mean looking at communication habits, expectations placed in childhood, or repeating relationship patterns. Katie helps people name those patterns and try different ways of responding.
Initial meetings cover personal background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. She answers questions and shares tools and resources to practice between sessions. The focus is on small, achievable steps rather than long lists of abstract tasks.
Over time Katie supports people who are working through caregiving strain, blended family challenges, attachment questions, and issues related to adoption or foster care. She also brings experience with codependency, commitment and control difficulties, and the stress that follows separation or divorce.
Clients can expect direct feedback and practical assignments. Katie combines faith-informed counseling with evidence-based techniques when appropriate, helping people move toward clearer communication and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Approaches used and how online sessions are handled
Katie often uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on clear goals and small steps. This approach emphasizes identifying a specific change a person wants and testing practical actions to get there, which can help with relationship habits, parenting challenges, and managing anxiety.She also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses, useful for depression, worry, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, preferences, and goals and then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
