Katie Trent

Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and 14 years of experience. She brings a calm, direct, and encouraging style to sessions. Katie focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, and coping with life changes, with particular attention to women’s issues as noted in her profile.

Katie blends practical problem-solving with cognitive-behavioral ideas. She helps people set clear goals and build steps to reach them. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, the kind of talk that feels like sharing a cup of coffee with a thoughtful listener.

Her background includes working with attachment and family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.

Katie offers Christian counseling alongside evidence-based techniques when clients prefer faith-informed support. Early sessions focus on what you want to change and practical tools to make small moves toward that goal.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, resources, and actionable next steps. Katie aims to help people use their strengths to face challenges, gain clarity, and make progress over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques she uses include solution-focused work and cognitive-behavioral methods. Solution-focused work concentrates on concrete goals and small steps you can try right away to change patterns that aren’t working. Cognitive-behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as you go.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions convenient for fitting therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and keep consistent appointments during busy weeks. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, homework, and communication strategies that work in daily life, whether sessions are remote or in person.
