Getting to know Katie Tankersley

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger, relationships, PTSD, sleep disorders and insomnia, nightmares, and body image struggles. My training includes Brainspotting, trauma therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, and CBT for insomnia. I also utilize DBT, mindfulness, attachment-based, and solution-focused approaches. It is my goal to create a safe and genuine space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered. I will meet you where you are and work with you to develop an individualized plan of care. Clients have described me as patient, understanding, and easy to talk to.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I utilize trauma-informed care, including Brainspotting, narrative therapy, bilateral stimulation, and somatic focus.. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and identify personal goals. With trauma therapy, we will make connections between past experiences and present thoughts and feelings to help you mindfully respond to the ups and downs of life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, or relationships. During our initial sessions, we will create a plan of care that balances practical coping mechanisms and problem solving skills while learning to explore deeper emotions and traumas. Most of my clients begin to see improvement in their presenting problems within the first month.
