About Katherine
Katherine Treadway is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina with four years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Katherine describes family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, and fatherhood issues among her areas of focus. She also supports people dealing with communication and control problems, commitment worries, and the strains that come from first responder roles. Her practice addresses both emotional reactions and practical problems that come from past family patterns.
Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions involve talking through thoughts and feelings, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing new ways of relating to others. She uses straightforward, skills-based interventions alongside open listening.
Katherine often works with clients who want to understand how childhood roles and expectations still shape current behavior. She helps people notice repeating patterns, try small changes, and build clearer communication. Work may include examining boundaries, addressing unresolved grief, and developing coping strategies for stress or mood swings.
People who choose her practice can expect focused, practical sessions that balance emotional processing with behavioral tools. Katherine accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats with the intake process.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and repeated patterns coming from family of origin dynamics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for mood problems, anxiety, and coping with life changes by building concrete skills and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.
