About Katie
Katie Lucas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, and life changes. Katie also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Katie has experience from nonprofit settings where she met people with a wide range of concerns. She has supported clients dealing with relationship and family problems, workplace issues, trauma, and effects of abuse. She also helps with attachment concerns, body image, and feelings of isolation.
Her sessions are client-directed. She allows each person to set the pace and focuses on treating people with respect and dignity. Katie describes her style as mixed and adaptable to the needs of the person in front of her.
Katie uses several evidence-based techniques in session. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior approaches for managing strong emotions and building coping skills.
She brings additional perspectives from human-centered and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from past relationships. Choice-based approaches are used when discussing goals and options. Together these methods aim to help people manage symptoms, clarify priorities, and try new ways of responding to difficult situations.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
In sessions she commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach can help with social anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical exercises to try between sessions. She also uses dialectical behavior methods to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful when anxiety feels overwhelming.Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a strategy for a few sessions and adjusting it based on how it feels in practice.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when that helps someone focus more on discussing thoughts and feelings.
