About Katie
Katie Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and addiction-related struggles. Katie aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions are centered on the person in front of her and on practical changes that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most, then helps shape small, doable steps toward relief. Katie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness strategies to bring attention back to the present moment during stressful times.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and unsure about making changes. Parents and caregivers frequently come to Katie with exhaustion, guilt, or tension around roles and boundaries. She supports people working through forgiveness, shame, and the emotional drain that can come from caregiving.
Conversations focus on realistic goals and on rebuilding small routines that reduce strain. Therapy with Katie mixes listening with concrete skills. She helps people build coping tools, strengthen self-esteem, and manage life transitions at a pace that feels manageable.
The work is practical, respectful, and rooted in each person’s priorities.
How Katie Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s own goals and experiences at the center of sessions. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify what change would look like. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and practical direction for everyday problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches new coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and bring focus back to the present moment, which can ease stress and rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s goals, preferences, and comfort level. She treats therapy as a collaboration and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, manage care responsibilities, and keep continuity during life changes. The goal is to make regular, useful contact possible in ways that work for each person.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
