About Katherine
Katherine "Kate" Tower is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life.
Background and approach
Kate aims to make therapy feel manageable and down-to-earth for someone juggling many demands. Kate uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
She draws on the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance to guide sessions. That means work can include learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, and clarifying values and goals.
People come to Kate for a wide range of concerns. She helps with self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career transitions, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family-related stress.
Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress. In sessions she keeps language simple and actionable.
Conversations often focus on small changes that fit into daily life, skill practice between meetings, and clear steps for coping during hard times. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals and adjust the plan as needs change.
Kate practices in Tennessee and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her approach blends practical tools with a steady, compassionate presence for people wanting to feel more grounded and able to handle life’s demands.
Approach-driven care through online sessions
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication patterns and increasing understanding between people in relationships. It uses structured exercises and practical tools to help repair conflict and build better interaction habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying personal values and taking committed action while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's experience, offering a nonjudgmental space and reflective listening to help people find their own direction and strength.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful in real life, so sessions remain practical and goal-focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive skills practice. Phone meetings work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum with brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
