About Katie
Katie Stevens brings 13 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Kansas, offering support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and family issues, grief, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at identifying obstacles and working toward meaningful personal goals, with particular attention to areas like self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, anger, career difficulties, bipolar and mood disorders, and compassion fatigue.
Her work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also drawing on client-centered principles and solution-focused strategies to help clients explore the roots of their struggles and build practical skills. Katie emphasizes empathy and openness, offering a reliable, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where difficult topics can be addressed honestly.
She values outdoor time and family life outside work, and she has experience with diverse populations across many life situations. Katie aims to make therapy a useful, strengths-based process that respects each person’s pace and values.
Prospective clients can expect a professional who listens, supports, and encourages growth toward each individual’s version of wellbeing.

Katie approaches choice of method collaboratively and recognizes that finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. She works with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and challenges, blending techniques when appropriate so treatment aligns with what each person finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, letting clients access care from different locations and at varied times. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy schedules or life changes, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-focused support using the therapeutic approaches described above.
