About Katherine
Katherine Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. Katherine also lists support for grief, addictions, relationship strain, sleep problems, career stress, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. That can include learning ways to manage anxiety, building tools to cope with strong emotions, and addressing patterns that affect relationships. EMDR may be used for trauma-related memories when appropriate, and she also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques.
Katherine often helps people who are dealing with family strain and parenting stress. She discusses attachment issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin concerns. She also addresses substance use and domestic violence as part of broader life and safety conversations.
Sessions are practical and focused on what to do between meetings. Katherine emphasizes skills people can use at home to manage difficult feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. She supports clients in building routines that help with sleep, work, and parenting demands.
Her work can include attention to communication problems, coping with major life changes, and handling intimate relationship stress. People interested in starting a process with her are asked to review the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based action. It often involves exercises to clarify what matters and small steps to live by those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns and lower anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories are a central concern; it works by processing distressing memories so they have less emotional charge.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will review your history, current goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow for steady continuity when schedules are irregular, and skills-based work can be practiced between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so clients keep making progress without adding extra appointments.
