More about Katy

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My name is Katy Shuck. I have been practicing in the Social Work field for 11 years. I graduated from the MSW program at East Tennessee State University. I believe in providing therapy from a holistic approach emphasizing the interconnection of mind, body, and spirit. I seek to help clients of all ages navigate trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders, grief, and other presenting concerns. I welcome clients of all backgrounds into a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship where they can identify and overcome personal barriers. I utilize CBT, REBT, Solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness among others. I come from a place of non-judgement and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My hope is to assist clients in finding a way to cope with their symptoms, without feeling judged, and while being empowered to create positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Katy is great!!! She’s always able to offer a suggestion without coming across as pushy. Never tries to talk you into things you’re uncomfortable with, and super supportive with the decisions you make.
