About Katherine
Katherine Rowe is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use right away. Her style is direct but warm and she aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward.
Her work often focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and the strain of parenting.
Background and approach
Katherine pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current struggles. Katherine uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide treatment. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action.
She also incorporates attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit the client's needs. Over two decades she has worked with veterans and military service members and with parents concerned about an acting-out teenager. That background informs how she talks about stress, boundaries, and practical coping.
Katherine describes her work as collaborative - she reviews options and helps people choose what feels most useful. She offers sessions from Virginia in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addiction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and associated emotions to reduce their intensity for some people.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest strategies or techniques to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can require less bandwidth, live chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options can help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
