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 issues. She also works with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, as well as addiction and grief.
Her approach combines several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based techniques and EMDR are included when trauma and relational history are central to the concern.
Katherine often helps people who are coping with life changes, caregiving stress, or family-of-origin issues. She also supports those affected by domestic violence, substance use, and first responder stress. Parenting challenges and blended family difficulties are part of her practice focus as well.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on daily life. Katherine emphasizes small, usable skills - for example, grounding practices, behavioral experiments, or values-driven actions. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to try different strategies until something fits.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It can help with persistent guilt by shifting attention from trying to eliminate feelings to doing what matters despite them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors. In sessions, this often means identifying unhelpful beliefs that fuel shame and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Katherine will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or attachment-informed techniques over several sessions and adjusting as needed based on what helps in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel on a workday. It can also let a person use audio-only or video as needed to match comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these formats to carry out skills practice, grounding exercises, EMDR-informed processing when appropriate, and cognitive restructuring without needing an in-person visit.
