Katie Light

Katie Light is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and has worked in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health centers, outpatient addiction programs, domestic violence advocacy, and group homes. Katie focuses on each person's strengths and meets people where they are. She typically works with adults and young adults and often sees trauma-related concerns. Her practice addresses mood shifts, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship and intimacy challenges. Katie also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and issues around identity and non-monogamous relationships. Katie uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She commonly draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and she adapts methods to what helps an individual most. Sessions involve practical skills, coping plans, and goals chosen together. Her background includes work as a therapist, case manager, and client advocate, which informs a practical, problem-focused style. Katie pays close attention to safety and practical needs while helping people build better ways to manage emotions and behaviors. People who are looking for straightforward, strengths-based support around trauma, anger, addictions, or mood concerns may find her approach helpful.

How specific methods and online work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors, which can reduce panic, depression, and persistent worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she may combine approaches when that makes sense. That process is gradual and guided by what helps the client make steady progress.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use skill coaching and trauma-focused work from wherever they are, while the therapist helps tailor exercises and homework to daily life.
