About Katherine

Katherine Treadway, LCSW, helps people navigating stressful life changes and painful emotions. She works with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. She also supports those facing parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to family history or trauma.

Katherine keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. She listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical steps - managing strong feelings, improving communication, and building routines that feel manageable.

Her background includes four years as a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. That experience includes time supporting first responders and veterans, and helping people who face workplace stress and complicated family situations. She draws on that experience to meet people where they are.

Therapy blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Client-centered and emotionally focused ideas guide warm, respectful conversations about relationships.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Katherine helps people set short-term goals and build skills they can use between sessions. If coping with life changes is the reason you’re looking for support, she focuses on clear tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using empathetic listening and support to help someone explore their experience and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She tailors techniques and will adjust the plan as needs change, inviting feedback along the way.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time for appointments. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency during life transitions, and Katherine uses the chosen approaches to translate skill-building and relationship work into practical steps that fit everyday routines.
