Katie Dean is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah (UT LCSW 11022382-3501) with three years of professional therapy experience and an additional ten years in case management and human services. She is a female, non-religious, liberal therapist who primarily works with teens and young adults, including those involved with juvenile justice services.
Her practice focuses on helping people heal from trauma and on teaching practical tools to support more empowered, emotionally healthy lives. Katie is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and she supports individuals facing relationship and family issues, abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, confidence challenges, and motivation difficulties.
Katie uses a client-centered, trauma-informed approach and strives to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploring experiences and building resilience. She believes meaningful change grows from feeling heard, understood, and supported, and she honors the courage it takes to begin therapy.
Many people question whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible way to receive consistent support for everyday mental health needs.
