Hi!
I am Katie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and North Dakota. I have over 5 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups through a variety of different challenges. I have successfully working with clients that have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, co-occurring diagnosis and serious and persistent mental illnesses.
I would describe my approach as being Client Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma Focused. I believe that you are the expert in your life and your journey and I will be here to help you find your own personal strengths.
Taking that first step into therapy can be such a scary time. I am here to help guide you on your journey to identify your goals and create a plan to reach them!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Katie has been very helpful and flexible. I really appreciate her!
She’s so helpful and understand. She checks in and makes time to squeeze me in her schedule.
Katie Wilson makes me feel safe to share whatever I need. She is completely non-judgmental and has also helped me grow extensively in the short time we've been working together. I am blessed to have her in my life.
Katie has been an amazing therapist so far. She is kind, patient, empathetic while still being direct, and I know she truly cares about me and my individual growth. I had tried a few therapists via BetterHelp that didn’t quite click and have had many therapists in my life but haven’t had one as great as Katie in many years. I am so grateful we matched and I cannot recommend her enough.
