Background

About Katy McKee

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and California virtually. In my journey to become a therapist, I completed a Master of Arts in Psychology from University of Phoenix and a Master of Social Work from University of Southern California with a concentration in children and families and sub-concentration in military. I am a veteran spouse and understand the military lifestyle and culture. I have worked in the medical setting from dialysis to psychiatric/medical hospital to hospice. I am concurrently working in a nonprofit that provides both substance use treatment and mental health treatment to those who are connected with the judicial system in a diversion program. I am very passionate about my work and enjoy the reward of seeing my clients take control of their journey and thrive. My belief is that everyone is striving to do the very best that we can, but that sometimes situations or circumstances occur that challenge us and cause us to be overwhelmed by life. As a therapist, I enjoy helping others gain the tools they need to improve and enrich their own lives. What you need to grow and overcome your challenges will be unique to your situation, and should be driven by your own goals for yourself. In pursuit of those goals, I will utilize many different strategies such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), solution focused strategies, anger management training, and motivational interviewing as needed. I enjoy providing the necessary information and coping skills you need to be an active participant in your own journey.
