About Katherine

Katherine Rowe is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, grief, mood concerns, and related challenges. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer ways forward.

In sessions she listens first and then helps clients try small, manageable steps. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values. When trauma is part of the picture, she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce painful memories. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and family history affect current struggles.

She can teach mindfulness and distress-tolerance skills from dialectical behavior therapy to improve day-to-day coping. Katherine offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy into busy family lives. She works from Virginia and communicates in English.

International clients are accepted. She holds the Virginia license LCSW 0904007518. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are provided through a subscription that may be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings show up. It can be useful for stress, life transitions, and improving day-to-day choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they cause when trauma is part of a person’s history.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls and phone sessions allow longer conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit regular care into caregiving routines, work hours, and other commitments without traveling to an office.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
