Katie Trent

Katie Trent is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. Katie also addresses issues connected to attachment, adoption and foster care, blended families, and family of origin concerns.

Her style blends practical problem-solving with cognitive-behavioral methods. She uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and practicing concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Katie describes offering Christian counseling and integrates clients' faith when that is important to them. She works with individuals across many stages of family life and with people coping with abandonment, codependency, commitment worries, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with separation, domestic violence aftermath, and feelings of emptiness.

Early meetings are straightforward and goal oriented. The first session is an opportunity to share background, name goals, and ask questions. Katie aims to leave people with practical tools and next steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach is direct and encouraging. She focuses on clarifying what matters now, choosing small steps forward, and building on strengths to handle the next phase of life.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Katie draws on cognitive-behavioral methods that look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test beliefs, and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that narrow attention to immediate, achievable goals. This approach breaks concerns into small steps and builds practical strategies people can use between meetings, which is useful for parenting stress and major life changes.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss methods, listen to what matters to the client, and help decide what to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
