About Katie
Katie Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship changes, and the weight of guilt and shame.
Katie helps people sort through everyday pressures and family transitions. She supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and challenges that come with parenting or caregiving. She also offers help around forgiveness and the painful feelings that follow mistakes or loss.
Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered style. Sessions focus on listening, building practical coping tools, and looking at patterns that keep problems stuck. She uses straightforward techniques so people can try something between sessions and notice small changes.
Katie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help making changes but feels uncertain or stuck.
People who choose her often want clear strategies for managing intense feelings and support while they work through relationship shifts or caregiving stress. She guides clients toward clearer thinking and more manageable habits without promising quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide the goals they want to work toward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring more clarity to difficult emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katie treats this as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches so people learn tools that make sense for their situation.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during breaks, avoiding travel time, or choosing options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people apply CBT skills, practice mindfulness exercises, and work through guilt or shame with ongoing support.
