Katie Carr

Katie Carr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Katie aims to make each person feel heard and respected in sessions.

She centers care on trauma-informed principles and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she pays attention to how past harm affects current relationships and daily life, and uses approaches shown to help with symptoms like panic, intrusive thoughts, and low mood. Sessions are adapted to each person’s strengths and goals.

Katie has eight years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She has supported people with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, eating-related issues, substance use, and personality-related struggles. She also has experience with first responder issues, neurodivergence, and survivors of domestic or sexual violence.

Her practice is inclusive and collaborative. She welcomes people across identities and backgrounds and offers particular experience with LGBTQ+ concerns and questions about gender and sexuality. Conversations focus on building insight, coping skills, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions emphasize concrete tools and compassionate listening. Katie helps clients set realistic steps, track what works, and adjust plans when needed. People often come seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, clearer communication, or help finding purpose and self-acceptance.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Trauma-informed care focuses on recognizing how past harm shapes present reactions and relationships. In practice this means paying attention to safety, pacing work to avoid overwhelm, and using grounding and coping strategies to manage distress. This approach can help people dealing with post-traumatic stress, attachment struggles, and emotional flashbacks.

Behavioral and skills-focused techniques teach concrete strategies for symptoms like panic, intrusive thoughts, low mood, or problematic routines. These methods break problems into manageable steps, such as building routines, practicing exposure to feared situations in small doses, or learning new ways to handle urges and cravings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you’ll try methods that fit your needs and adjust them over time so work feels useful and doable.

If you plan to work online, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and support steady check-ins during transitions. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions helpful when schedules are tight or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can work with you to arrange a rhythm and format that supports your goals.
