About Katherine

Katherine Treadway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma, parenting concerns, and grief. She is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in North Carolina and offers support for a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and caregivers who need clear tools and steady support. Katherine creates a calm space to talk through what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She emphasizes learning skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, and rebuilding trust after difficult events. Her approach combines evidence-based techniques with a person-centered attitude.

Katherine explains options and then works with each person to choose what fits. She draws on therapies that teach coping strategies, build awareness, and strengthen relationships. With four years of clinical experience, Katherine brings focused attention to each clients concerns.

She has worked with people affected by trauma, first responder stress, workplace difficulties, and life transitions. Her background includes supporting those coping with mood changes, addiction-related struggles, and questions about identity and purpose. In sessions she prioritizes clear communication and measurable goals.

Katherine helps people set realistic steps and track progress over time. The aim is to leave each session with at least one concrete thing to try before the next meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for stress, mood concerns, and building everyday coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses to improve connection and communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and make decisions together based on goals, needs, and personal style. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps each person in real life.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches without rearranging their whole day. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for parents and busy professionals. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care, try tools between sessions, and get steady support when life gets hectic.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
