About Katherine

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker based in North Carolina who helps people manage a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar mood shifts, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses specific themes like abandonment, blended family dynamics, first responder issues, and forgiveness.

Her style blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered, trauma-informed stance that emphasizes empathy and collaboration. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor practical strategies for symptom management, emotional regulation, and improved communication.

Katherine aims to help clients build self-compassion, clarify values, and develop skills for healthier relationships and daily functioning. As an LCSW with four years of experience, she frames work as a partnership focused on meaningful change rather than quick fixes.

She accepts clients from within and outside the United States and offers a range of remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Two of the central methods Katherine uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and relationship conflicts. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most.

She also uses client-centered principles to ensure the therapeutic relationship is collaborative and responsive; this approach prioritizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own goals. Together these methods can address trauma recovery, emotion regulation, communication struggles, and life transitions in a practical, skills-oriented way.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Katherine partners with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs and goals, adapting methods over time as progress and preferences become clear. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and personally meaningful.

Online therapy allows the same evidence-informed approaches to be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, provide continuity through life changes, and let clients choose the format that feels most accessible for practicing skills and staying connected with a licensed professional.
