Katie Osgood, LPC

Katie is a warm, relational therapist who is passionate about supporting teens, young adults, parents, and families through life’s challenges. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #89040). Katie is also the owner of Brighter Days Therapy, where she works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and self-criticism. Prior to opening her private practice, she gained experience in both group practice settings and high school environments, where her passion for empowering teens and young adults truly took shape.

Katie’s path into the mental health field was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a teenager struggling with mental health challenges. She credits a supportive high school counselor with helping her feel seen and understood during a difficult time in her life, and that experience continues to inspire the way she shows up for her own clients today. Katie believes every young person deserves a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, valued, and supported.

Drawn to Wonder’s family systems and experiential model, Katie values the opportunity to support clients within the context of their real, everyday lives. She believes there is immense value in understanding a young person’s environment and ensuring that both the individual and their family feel cared for throughout the process. Her therapeutic approach is attachment-centered, trauma-informed, and highly relational, integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Katie believes that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship can be deeply healing, and she strives to create a space where clients can authentically be themselves.

Katie is especially passionate about helping teens and young adults build confidence, advocate for themselves, and recognize their own strengths and worth. She understands that many teens often feel overlooked or unheard, and she works to ensure they feel like active participants in their therapeutic journey rather than simply being talked about by the adults around them. She believes therapy can become a safe place for young people to practice communicating emotions, setting boundaries, and asking for support.

Outside of her clinical work, Katie lives in Houston with her husband and their two dogs, Ziggy the corgi and Maya the coonhound. She enjoys trying new restaurants, traveling, starting each day with a hot cup of coffee, and reading more fantasy books than she can keep up with.
