About Katherine

Katherine Myers is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience. She offers support for people facing eating disorders, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. Her work also covers relationship, intimacy-related, parenting, and career difficulties.

She is licensed in Vermont as LICSW (VT LICSW 089.0134182) and in Virginia as LCSW (VA LCSW 0904010761), and practices from Tennessee. Katherine aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer understanding and practical change.

Background and approach

She uses direct, down-to-earth conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions tend to be warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on concrete goals. She believes a bit of humor can help ease hard conversations.

Her clinical training includes psychodynamic work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, and has certification in equine-assisted psychotherapy. Those methods are used to help process difficult memories, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping skills.

Katherine often combines longer-term reflection with hands-on skills practice. She emphasizes awareness first, then helps clients try new ways of coping in daily life. Her style blends compassion with practical steps so people can see progress between sessions.

People who contact her can expect straightforward guidance and focus on real-life problems. She works in English and welcomes people from other countries. Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs and paced according to what they are ready to address.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and healing

Many of Katherine's methods focus on understanding past patterns and building new skills. Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions, helping people make sense of repeating patterns. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches specific coping skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

She also uses EMDR, which helps people process distressing memories through guided attention and structured steps. Equine-assisted psychotherapy is another option she is certified in; it can provide experiential learning with animals to practice boundaries and emotional expression. Katherine treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. She works with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and what feels manageable at the time.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler connection when screens are difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, flexible ways to check in between appointments. These options aim to increase access and convenience while allowing a licensed professional to guide progress and adjust the approach as needed.
