Katherine Treadway , LCSW

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with clients on issues like trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, addiction, mood disorders, and problems with self-esteem or intimacy.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build practical steps toward better daily functioning. Katherine emphasizes listening first and then helping clients try small, doable changes that fit their lives.

She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches tailored to each person. Techniques may include skills for emotion regulation, behavior changes to reduce unhelpful patterns, and ways to notice values and make choices that align with them. Therapy often combines talk, reflection, and hands-on practice between sessions.

Katherine brings four years of clinical experience as an LCSW in North Carolina. She has worked with people facing workplace stress, first responder issues, and the effects of past family problems. That background informs how she addresses boundaries, burnout, and trauma recovery.

People who reach out can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on small progress. Katherine supports clients through transitions such as career shifts, caregiving strain, or major life losses. She also offers coaching-style guidance when clients want concrete plans for change.

How Katherine blends therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and finding purpose after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce reactive behavior and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katherine works with clients to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as needs change. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can try between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists use visual cues and longer conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
