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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
