Katherine Treadway, LCSW

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She offers straightforward support for relationship strain, parenting concerns, substance issues, grief, and questions about identity and purpose. Katherine writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.

She uses practical tools to help people manage moods and daily challenges. Sessions focus on what feels most useful now - small changes that make life easier and more manageable. Katherine often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and client-centered techniques to match the work to each person's goals.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful memories and current struggles. Katherine pays attention to how family background, work stress, and past hurt shape everyday reactions. She aims to translate insight into clear steps that reduce overwhelm and increase coping skills.

Her practice includes support for issues such as compassion fatigue, recovery from abuse, intimacy problems, anger, self-esteem, and career transitions. Katherine also addresses more specific concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and first responder stress when they come up in sessions.

Katherine holds an LCSW in North Carolina and has four years of clinical experience. She works with people over a mix of short-term goals and longer-term growth work, adapting methods as needs change and progress is made.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life. It helps people reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values. It is useful for people facing ongoing stress, grief, or life transitions who want more psychological flexibility.

Katherine also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and the client’s own goals. That approach creates room to explore sensitive topics like trauma recovery, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue while letting the client set the pace.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan as work progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, coaching-style prompts, or when people prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
