Katie Newberry, LICSW

Katie Newberry, LICSW, is a clinical social worker with five years of experience in mental health settings. She has worked with clients across the lifespan, from school-aged children to older adults, and has experience supporting people with moderate to severe disabilities in a variety of roles. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Auburn University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. The LICSW credential stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a professional license for clinicians qualified to provide independent clinical social work services.

Her counseling approach is relaxed and welcoming, shaped by the belief that a warm environment helps build the trust and respect necessary for effective therapeutic work. She blends person-centered and solution-focused strategies with evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods. Across cases she draws from a broad set of clinical tools to tailor treatment plans to each person’s needs and goals.

Katie works with common concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-esteem and body image, and coping with life transitions. Her practice also addresses issues such as blended family dynamics, communication problems, guilt and shame, and mood disorders. Therapy is offered in English, and her style emphasizes practical skills, collaborative planning, and steady progress toward meaningful change.

She emphasizes that taking the first step to seek support is often difficult and views that step as an important beginning in the process of change. Katie approaches each case with respect and a focus on helping clients identify realistic, attainable goals.
