Katie Ball , LCSW

Katie Ball is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through stressful and uncertain times. She draws on eight years of experience to help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Katie works with adults seeking clearer direction, renewed confidence, and practical ways to cope.

Katie focuses on building straightforward skills people can use outside sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice better communication, and set small achievable goals. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth, aimed at results rather than jargon.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Katie uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional insight. One common approach centers on skill building for anxiety and depression - teaching breathing and grounding exercises, activity scheduling, and manageable behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes communication and relationship work - helping people practice clearer requests, set boundaries, and repair trust when needed. These methods are aimed at improving how people cope and relate, not at quick fixes.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Katie works with each person to identify their goals, tries different tools, and adjusts the plan when something isn't helping. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant to their lives.

Online therapy with Katie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messages are helpful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or those who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
