About Katherine
Katherine "Kate" Tower is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She practices in Tennessee and draws on approachable, down-to-earth counseling to guide conversations about overwhelming feelings and life changes. Kate focuses on building skills people can use day to day.
She listens first, then helps clients notice what matters most. From there she supports practical steps to manage emotions, improve sleep, and handle career or parenting pressures.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to attention-related struggles such as ADHD, as well as grief, trauma and recovery from addiction. She also supports people facing relationship and family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and questions about identity and attachment. Kate uses methods that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and emotional regulation.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. The goal is clearer choices and steadier coping rather than quick fixes. Clients meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To get started a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It often focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy; the therapist follows the client's lead and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental presence to help people feel understood and to build confidence.Kate sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the problem at hand, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on useful tools and steady progress.
