About Kathryn

Kathryn LaMorte is a licensed clinical social worker who brings steady, practical care to people facing stress and emotional overwhelm. She focuses on helping with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her style is down-to-earth and faith-informed, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and doable.

Clients meet a therapist who listens for clear patterns and daily struggles. Sessions often include talking through current pressures, naming overwhelming feelings, and trying small changes that make life easier.

Background and approach

Kathryn uses straightforward tools to help with guilt, shame, and a sense of emptiness so people can move toward more self-compassion. Her practice also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, abandonment, and questions of life purpose.

She brings 15 years of clinical experience as an LCSW and draws on that background when shaping practical next steps with each person. The Tennessee license is LCSW 4408. Therapy is offered in English and is guided by the person’s needs and values.

Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper issues, depending on what someone wants. The approach is collaborative and paced to fit each client. To start, a prospective client uses the site process to match and schedule a session.

Kathryn aims to help people find steadier ground and clearer coping habits in everyday life.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Kathryn uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life application. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people notice what works in day-to-day life. Another approach centers on building self-compassion and repairing harsh self-judgment through exercises that teach kinder inner dialogue and gradual exposure to difficult emotions; this can ease shame and emptiness.

Choosing the right method is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there she adapts techniques so they match the client’s pace and practical needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue work through life transitions, and check in between longer meetings. Kathryn aims to use the format that best supports progress and fits each person’s routine.
