About Katie
Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. Her profile also notes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family difficulties, and family of origin struggles.
Katie uses an eclectic, solution-focused style alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to address practical problems. She listens for specific goals and helps people name what they want to change. Early sessions involve clear questions about current struggles and priorities so the work can be focused and useful.
Her practice includes Christian counseling as part of how some clients want to frame their values and decisions. She invites open conversation and aims to be direct and encouraging in sessions. Katie describes the first visit as a time to share background, outline goals, and receive initial tools and resources.
Across cases she leans toward practical steps and measurable progress rather than long, abstract exploration. That can include identifying thought patterns that increase shame or guilt and practicing different responses in everyday situations. She also supports people wrestling with parenting strain, caregiver stress, or the emotional fallout from separation and divorce.
People who choose to work with her typically start by clarifying a few achievable goals. From there she offers feedback, skill-building, and short-term strategies to try between appointments. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping clients move toward clearer choices and better routines.
How Katie uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions
She commonly combines solution-focused work with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals and next steps. It helps people who want to change specific behaviors or patterns without long-term exploration of every past detail.Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it with real-life experiments, and learning new, more helpful responses. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused issues like communication or parenting stress.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative part of the first sessions. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques that match the client’s priorities and adjust them as needed over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use techniques in their real-world routines between appointments. Licensed professionals can guide practice and review results without requiring long commutes.
