About Katherine

Katherine Treadway is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with four years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, addictions, grief, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports concerns such as relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD.

Her style centers on listening and helping clients name the emotions that feel confusing or overwhelming. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and interaction patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered principles to help people develop practical skills.

Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the person and on small, concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. Katherine uses talk, reflection, and skill practice to address communication problems, control issues, and commitment worries. She also offers support for people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, domestic violence, and first responder stress.

Katherine notes experience with adults including young adults and veterans, and with workplace-related challenges. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The initial process helps match goals and logistics before the first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships and behavior. It helps when feelings are hard to name and when interaction patterns repeat without resolution. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses values and committed actions to guide change, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small steps toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and build on existing strengths.

Finding the right approach often starts together. Katherine will work with the person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may combine EFT with ACT or CBT skills depending on the issues someone brings and what they want to achieve.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They can also let people use fewer sensory demands, like turning off video, or arrange sessions around work breaks. The therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to best fit daily life and goals.
