01 · Who Katie works with
Katie lists 5 specialisms and 37 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Katie chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Katie's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi! I'm Katie Trent, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience providing counseling, support, and resources to equip and encourage strong, faith-filled families.
I utilize an eclectic approach to best meet my client's unique needs with a solution-focus and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy approach.
I provide Christian counseling to children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing a wide range of struggles, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional & behavioral struggles, marital and pre-marital counseling, and family counseling.
I am empathetic, encouraging, direct, and supportive. I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable sharing openly with me, as if we were sharing a cup of coffee and engaging in conversation.
I help clients identify and articulate goals to empower them achieve their desired results with support and guidance from me.
During our first session, you'll have the chance to share about yourself, your goals, and your needs. I'll answer your questions and provide you with tools and resources to move forward and feel confident in your next steps.
I've always loved helping others, and have dedicated my life to supporting, encouraging, and equipping people to live with purpose and passion, overcoming any obstacles, and building on their individual strengths.

03 · What happens next
Katie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Katie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Katie at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Katie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Katie.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Katie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Katie's - Katie has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
