About Katie
Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, and coping with life changes. Katie also addresses concerns such as codependency, attachment and family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.
She combines a solution-focused stance with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify goals and try practical steps. Sessions focus on clear problem-solving, learning new ways to respond to thoughts and feelings, and building small habits that reduce overwhelm. Katie draws on faith-informed resources when clients want that included.
Early meetings are straightforward and practical. People describe what they are facing, set a few priorities, and leave with simple tools to use between sessions. Katie is direct and encouraging while helping clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and small experiments to test different ways of coping.
Over time she supports people in strengthening communication, setting clearer boundaries, and managing worry or low mood. When family history, attachment, or past losses show up, sessions look at how those patterns affect current relationships and parenting. The focus is on concrete changes a person can try in daily life.
Katie meets clients in a conversational style that still emphasizes skill-building. The aim is practical progress over time, with regular review of goals and adjustments based on what works.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can work
She commonly uses solution-focused techniques, which concentrate on immediate, practical steps and measurable goals. This approach helps when stress or relationship patterns feel overwhelming and a person wants direction on what to try next.She also applies Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy methods that look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers tools for managing anxiety and low mood by testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses in everyday situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try and when to adjust the plan. Progress is checked regularly so the work stays relevant.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone-only meetings work better when bandwidth is limited, while others prefer video for nonverbal cues. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to find what fits.
