ABOUT YOUR PROVIDER
20 years of providing therapy & assessment in Fort Worth, Texas
KATIE FLEMING THOMAS, MS, LPC
Finding the right support is personal. Beyond credentials, it’s about feeling seen, heard, and understood. Whether you’re seeking therapy or clarity through assessment, my goal is to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where insight and care come together.
I provide therapy and assessment services for adults in Fort Worth, Texas, with a focus on thoughtful, trauma- and nervous system-informed care.
I'm a Fort Worth-based Licensed Professional Counselor offering therapy and psychological assessment for adults and emerging adults. I hold a B.S. in Psychology from TCU and an M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Tarleton State. Over nearly 20 years, my work has spanned private clinics, higher education, and community organizations, where I've provided therapy, conducted evaluations, taught university-level psychology, and served as a Disabilities Services Specialist.
THERAPY
My approach weaves together mindfulness, somatic awareness, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing to support anxiety, trauma, burnout, chronic pain, and major life transitions. We absolutely talk and process, but I also want you to leave with tools that help your body feel steadier. When your system has more regulation, life becomes more workable: more clarity, less reactivity, more capacity for what matters.
Sessions tend to be slower and more collaborative than people expect. We work at the pace your nervous system can tolerate, not the pace of a treatment plan.
Most people who find me have already tried to think their way through it. They understand their patterns. They may have done therapy before. And something still hasn't shifted.
That's usually because stress, trauma, and all of our experiences live in the body as much as the mind, and insight alone rarely reaches them. My work is trauma- and nervous system-informed, which means we don't only talk about what happened. We pay attention to how your system is holding it now.
ASSESEMENT
I approach each evaluation with care and curiosity, aiming for reports that are both accurate and genuinely useful. My assessments are comprehensive and strengths-based, designed to clarify learning profiles, attention concerns, emotional patterns, and accommodation needs, all in plain language you can act on.
Most clients work with me for one service or the other. Offering both reflects a broader interest in how people come to understand themselves, whether through the collaborative work of therapy or the structured clarity of assessment.
LIFE OUTSIDE PRACTICE
As a native Texan, I feel most inspired in the natural world, hiking, sunrises, adventures, and quiet moments in the garden with my husband and our animals, Ruby (a spirited Doberman) and Angelina (our spritely adult cat). When I'm not spending time with my family and busy with life, I'm usually working out, resting, working on various projects, or occasionally daydreaming about living off the grid somewhere.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I created Freebird Meditations in 2016 as an additional resource offering guided practices to support presence, regulation, and everyday self-connection through meditation, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I look forward to connecting and supporting you on your path forward.
