About Katie

Katie Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with two decades of experience in mental health care. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life changes. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Katie uses clear, respectful communication and centers the person sitting across from her in each session.

Background and approach

Katie practices in a client-centered way, which means she listens first and follows the client’s lead. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to build skills that make daily life easier. Mindfulness strategies and motivational techniques appear when they match a person’s needs and goals.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and specific. Katie helps people identify small, practical steps to reduce stress and manage symptoms. She also supports those processing difficult experiences or grieving losses, offering strategies to cope and move forward.

Progress is measured in concrete changes rather than labels. Katie adapts plans for each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is or isn’t working.

Her emphasis is on respect, compassion, and avoiding stigma as someone makes changes. For a parent or caregiver worried about everyday functioning or family dynamics, Katie provides straightforward tools and steady guidance. She frames therapy as a shared journey and offers encouragement while helping clients reach their goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client needs most. It emphasizes empathy and respect, which helps people feel heard whether on video or text. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it easy to practice between online sessions.

Katie uses these approaches to tailor work to each person. Early sessions are spent figuring out which methods fit best. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus on skill-building, problem-solving, mindfulness, or a mix of approaches based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions remove visual barriers for some people. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, note-taking, or when a written format feels safer. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, school or work commitments, and caregivers balancing family responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
