Katie Crow, LCSW
If anxiety is taking up too much space in your life, or you’re a parent watching your child struggle with anxiety, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide a warm, supportive space where teens, adults, couples, and families can feel understood while learning practical tools to navigate anxiety, stress, relationships, and life’s challenges.
I have a particular interest in working with anxiety and depression in adults and teens, as well as supporting parents of children who experience anxiety. I offer parent coaching to help caregivers better understand anxiety, respond to anxious behaviors more effectively, and feel more confident supporting their child. This can be especially helpful when a child or teen is resistant to therapy or when parents aren't sure what to do at home. My goal is to give parents practical strategies that can reduce anxiety, strengthen connection, and help their child build confidence and resilience.
I also work with clients experiencing OCD, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief and loss, family conflict, behavioral concerns, and relationship challenges. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, I work collaboratively with you to identify what is getting in the way and develop strategies that fit your life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with a master’s degree from Aurora University. My clinical experience in both an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and private practice has given me experience supporting individuals and families with a range of emotional and behavioral concerns and levels of need.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical. Together, we will work toward greater understanding, healthier coping skills, stronger relationships, and meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and give you tools you can actually use in your everyday life.
