About Katie

Katie Carr is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She offers clear, down-to-earth support for depression, low self-esteem, and the challenges that come with major transitions. Katie's work also includes attention to men's wellbeing as one of the areas she addresses.

She frames counseling as a collaborative process. Sessions start by listening closely to a person's story and concerns. From there she helps set concrete goals and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Katie brings eight years of clinical experience in settings that included care for people with serious mental illness, trauma histories, and mood disorders. She also has experience supporting LGBTQ+ people and those navigating discrimination and identity questions.

Her practice emphasizes trauma-informed care and adapting evidence-based therapeutic techniques to each person. She works with people facing post-traumatic stress, attachment challenges, panic, self-harm, eating concerns, substance use, and personality-related struggles.

Katie has worked with first responders and neurodivergent individuals, and she supports people affected by domestic violence or sexual assault. She aims to help people build insight, resilience, and workable strategies for everyday life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear strategies that help people manage symptoms and build new skills. One common approach used in evidence-based work helps people learn to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach centers on understanding and processing responses to past trauma so that symptoms like flashbacks, panic, or avoidance become easier to manage in daily life. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to the person's history, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions the plan can shift if something isn't working, and homework or practical tasks are adjusted to what helps most. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing sessions to occur from more convenient locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that works better, and for alternatives to video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know exactly how sessions will be delivered.
