About Katie
Katie Stevens is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (KS LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MO LCSW) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and anger. Katie also supports people facing relationship challenges, parenting concerns, career strain, and mood or impulse difficulties.
Katie uses straightforward techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while keeping the work solution focused. She helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger or anxiety, and practices practical strategies to shift those patterns. Sessions are conversational and aim to produce concrete next steps rather than abstract theory.
Her background in social work means she often looks at life circumstances alongside personal coping skills. That can include exploring communication problems, substance use, grief, or the effects of past trauma. Katie prioritizes clear goals and measurable progress while allowing space to address whatever shows up in a person's life.
Originally from Nebraska, Katie has lived in the Kansas City metro area for many years and brings 13 years of client work to each case. She welcomes conversations about concerns such as postpartum mood changes, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and issues around identity and sexuality.
People meet practical skills, intentional reflection, and real-world problem solving in her sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and can expect a direct, pragmatic approach that focuses on change and daily functioning.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help when anger gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and anger-related behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client sets priorities and the therapist follows the client's lead.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals, try different methods, and collaborate with each person to find what helps most. That process may combine ACT, CBT, and client-centered elements depending on what the person needs and prefers.
Confirm the specific session options before booking because the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on stressful days, and let people use video or phone in ways that suit their day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work stays practical and applicable to everyday life.
