About Katie
Katie Smith is an Alabama LICSW with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, and addresses related areas such as codependency and communication problems.
She uses a client-centered way of working that respects personal values and individual choices. Sessions focus on practical tools people can use between appointments. Katie brings research-informed methods into conversations so clients leave with clear steps they can try right away.
Katie has particular experience with ADHD across ages and speaks from both clinical work and personal experience as a parent of a teen with ADHD. She understands how a diagnosis and a treatment plan can change daily life and reduce confusion about behavior and expectations.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, build routines that fit real life, and practice new ways of setting limits or asking for what they need. She also works with challenges tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and blended family dynamics when those show up for the person in front of her.
Her approach mixes evidence-based techniques with clear, actionable goals. People can expect straightforward conversation, short-term coping strategies, and support shaping longer-term plans. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Katie integrates common evidence-based techniques into conversations and practical work. One approach she uses focuses on building routines and organizational strategies for people with ADHD, helping with time management, task breakdown, and simple changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes cognitive tools to manage anxiety and low mood, teaching ways to notice thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to see what helps.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Katie discusses options with each person and adjusts tools to fit their goals and daily life. The first sessions often look at immediate problems and then test a few techniques to see what feels useful before committing to a longer plan.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting talks into a busy week and saving travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into the session for troubleshooting and planning.
