About Katherine
Katherine "Kate" Tower is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience based in Tennessee. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, sleep problems, addictions, and other life changes. Kate also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and supports people coping with parenting, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Kate uses practical, conversational therapy rather than jargon. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills people can try between meetings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness strategies to help people notice thoughts and act in line with their values. Client-Centered techniques are used to follow each person’s pace and concerns.
When emotions feel overwhelming, Kate introduces Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive behavior. For relationship work she incorporates the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and rebuild connection. These approaches are used to address specific problems such as social anxiety, commitment issues, or sleep disruption.
Her style is collaborative and practical: she helps people name what matters, practice small changes, and track progress over time. Kate has worked across a wide range of issues including chronic illness, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiving stress. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.

How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this looks like setting small behavior goals and using brief exercises between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these are taught in short, repeatable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance that people can practice when anxiety or overwhelm rises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adapt what’s working. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust methods together rather than relying on a single fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to practice skills in their usual routines and then discuss what happened in the next session. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to help clients build consistent habits and manage social anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep issues, and stress more effectively.
