About Katie
Katie Carr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Katie also helps those who are questioning life purpose and people dealing with related issues like substance use or isolation.
Katie describes her work as collaborative and inclusive. She listens to each person's story and adapts sessions to the concerns and goals presented. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, developing coping strategies, and making practical changes that fit day-to-day life.
She has experience supporting LGBTQ+ people and those exploring gender identity and sexuality. Katie also has worked with first responders, neurodivergent clients, and people affected by domestic violence or sexual assault. Her caseload has included mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, eating concerns, and co-occurring health issues.
Katie prioritizes trauma-informed care and attends to attachment and relational dynamics in sessions. She helps people notice how past experiences influence current choices and relationships, then practices skills to reduce symptoms and improve communication.
People who come to Katie often want help moving through a hard change or figuring out what matters next. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a step-by-step approach to address immediate symptoms while working toward longer term goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns. One common approach she draws on emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This method teaches concrete skills for managing panic, low mood, and obsessive patterns.She also uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, pacing, and processing difficult memories in manageable steps. These practices help with post-traumatic stress, attachment-related difficulties, and coping after abuse or violence. Both approaches aim to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning through clear exercises and homework.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. She will discuss options based on your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. The client and therapist decide collaboratively on techniques and pacing.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low, while video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Ask about available formats when you start the matching questionnaire.
