About Katherine
Katherine Salmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, substance use and process addictions, trauma and anger. Katherine also helps people facing family and parenting strains and issues with self-esteem and grief.
Her background includes primary therapist roles with teenagers and young adults and their families. She has supported people coping with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, co-occurring issues, and self-harm concerns. She has spent a large portion of her practice addressing drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions like gambling or compulsive sexual behavior.
Katherine’s sessions are direct and person-focused. She uses well-established therapeutic techniques to help people identify patterns, build coping skills, and practice different ways of responding when anger or stress arise. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on strategies that can be used between appointments.
She draws on cognitive-behavioral methods alongside experiential and humanistic ideas. Trauma-informed practices are part of her work when past events affect current behavior. Katherine also brings strength-based perspectives to help people notice what is already working in their lives.
People who want clear conversation and practical tools often choose her approach. To begin, she asks about what is happening now, what has helped before, and what small changes feel doable. Scheduling a first session starts with a short matching questionnaire and then booking an appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches for managing anger and related issues online
Evidence-based cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice the thoughts that fuel anger and try out different responses. These methods are useful for workplace frustration, relationship tension, and repeated patterns of snapping at others.Experiential work focuses on present-moment experiences and practicing new behaviors in session. This can help when anger links to strong bodily reactions or when past trauma shapes current responses. Trauma-informed practices are used when earlier events affect how someone reacts today, with attention to pacing and safety in the work.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. They will check in and adjust the plan based on what helps and what feels manageable.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that virtual appointments let them practice new skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care even with shifting routines.
