About Kathryn

Kathryn LaMorte is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 15 years of experience supporting adults through depression, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at practical change rather than long explanations.

She often helps people who are processing abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences. Caregivers and young adults who feel worn down by responsibility or unsure about life purpose find clear, steady support.

Background and approach

Kathryn also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and struggles with self-love. Sessions center on identifying what matters to the person and trying concrete steps that fit daily life. Conversations frequently include values, forgiveness, and rebuilding a sense of personal direction.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn new ways of thinking and coping with difficult emotions. Kathryn brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included, but therapy is guided by each person’s goals. She emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.

People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through and practice different ways of coping. Practicing in Tennessee as an LCSW, Kathryn draws on a mix of clinical experience and practical tools. Her work is aimed at helping people feel steadier, make clearer choices, and reconnect with what matters to them.

Evidence-based approaches and online care options

Many of Kathryn's methods draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical coping skills. One common approach helps people identify anxious or negative thought patterns and test new, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce worry and stress. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - small, doable actions practiced over time to increase confidence, reduce avoidance, and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and useful rather than fixed or one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a shorter real-time check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
