About Katherine

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. She supports men’s wellbeing alongside other concerns like parenting, addiction, grief, and career strain. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel steadier and more connected.

Katherine works in a calm, respectful way that centers the person in the room. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable skills. She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and offers tools to interrupt those patterns.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based methods to help people live by their values. She also uses emotionally focused approaches to improve communication and address intimacy-related concerns.

Katherine has four years of clinical experience as an NC LCSW. That background includes supporting people who have served as first responders and veterans, and those coping with family-of-origin issues and blended family challenges.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical homework when it helps, and attention to safety when trauma or domestic violence issues arise.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that feed depression or anxiety, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and the ways people connect with others, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change over time based on what is helpful and what the client notices about progress.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice new skills in day-to-day life and bring real situations into sessions for discussion.
