More about Katie
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed therapist in Utah with three years of professional therapy experience and ten years of case management and human services experience. I specialize in working with teens and young adults, including those involved with juvenile justice services. My focus is on helping clients heal from trauma and develop the tools they need to lead more empowered and emotionally healthy lives.
I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), two evidence-based approaches for treating trauma and its impact. I also help clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including relationship and family issues, abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and trauma-informed. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change. I believe healing happens when you feel heard, understood, and supported.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m proud of you for starting your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
