About Katherine
Katherine Rowe is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 20 years of experience to therapy. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. Katherine aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and try new ways of responding.
Her work often addresses depression, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career transitions.
Background and approach
Katherine pays attention to how past attachment and family issues continue to affect present life. In sessions she blends body-focused Somatic work with evidence-based talk therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral tools are available to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Attachment-based ideas guide exploration of relational patterns and long-standing family dynamics.
Katherine’s approach is practical and paced to each person’s needs. She offers sessions from Virginia and communicates in English. Online options include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process. Payment is handled via a cancelable subscription model.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic work focuses on body awareness and how sensations connect to emotions. In online sessions Katherine uses gentle grounding and body-focused practices alongside conversation to help people notice and shift physical reactions tied to stress or trauma.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction and motivation.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Talking about these patterns online can help people change how they relate to others and to themselves.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to try approaches that fit their needs and goals, and adjusts methods as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility so sessions can fit into busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide alternative ways to communicate. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use techniques between sessions when life gets busy.
