About Katherine

Katherine Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. Katherine aims to help people notice patterns that interfere with daily life and try concrete ways to respond differently.

She uses practical, skills-based methods to address upsetting thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing short exercises between meetings. Katherine lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one approach she uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice supporting people facing addiction, grief, sleeping problems, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship strain, caregiver stress, and problems tied to family of origin. Her practice includes work on more specific issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family tensions, and domestic violence consequences.

Katherine draws on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when they fit a person's goals. She describes therapy as collaborative and focused on small, manageable changes rather than distant goals. People who prefer clear structure and concrete exercises may find this approach useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Katherine uses structured approaches in online sessions

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical and often involves short exercises to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, mood problems, and sleeplessness.

ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It supports people facing life changes, grief, and ongoing stress by clarifying what matters and building small, value-based steps.

Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape current expectations and patterns. This work helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, and issues rooted in family of origin.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, needs, and preferences and then choose methods together. Sessions may combine elements of CBT, ACT, attachment work, DBT skills, or EMDR when those fit the plan.

Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss scheduling, exercise practice between meetings, and how to structure sessions to match everyday life when arranging the first appointment.
