About Katherine

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. She works with clients who are coping with trauma, parenting pressures, career changes, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and questions about intimacy and self-worth.

Background and approach

Katherine aims to make sessions practical and clear so clients leave with concrete next steps. She uses a blend of evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs.

That includes Gottman Method ideas for communication and connection, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build willingness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with skills practice between meetings when useful.

Katherine describes her style as warm, direct, and collaborative. She listens for patterns in family history and life events, then works with clients to break harmful cycles and rebuild healthier routines.

The work can include understanding emotional triggers, improving communication, and planning for life transitions. Her background includes four years of clinical experience as an LCSW in North Carolina.

Katherine has worked with people from a variety of backgrounds, including first responders and veterans, and brings trauma-informed care to complex situations. She centers respect and practical problem solving in every session.

For people exploring therapy options, Katherine helps set clear goals and checks in regularly about progress. Her approach balances empathy with actionable strategies so clients can manage symptoms and move toward the life they want.

Online approaches for connection and change

Gottman Method ideas focus on improving communication and building practical habits that support stronger connection. In sessions this looks like learning how to share feelings clearly, respond without criticism, and create daily routines that reduce conflict.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it emphasizes flexible action over getting stuck on hard thoughts or feelings.

Katherine views choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps find the methods that fit a person’s situation and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Chat or messaging supports quick questions, written reflection, and ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
