About Katherine
Katherine Howes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, and related concerns. She aims to meet each person where they are and build confidence to move forward. Her tone is direct and respectful, and she focuses on practical next steps rather than jargon.
She seeks to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Katherine spent much of her career in juvenile justice and school settings, which gave her experience talking with people from many backgrounds. That work shaped her skill at staying calm during strong emotions and breaking problems into manageable pieces. Her approach centers on listening first, then helping people identify strengths they already have.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for the client's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness techniques to build focus and emotional regulation. Katherine also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories.
These methods are adapted to the person's goals and pace rather than applied as a fixed checklist. She has six years of professional experience and keeps sessions practical and goal-focused. People who want clear tools, steady support, and a therapist who listens will find a down-to-earth approach in her work.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and builds a plan that matches their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on the client's goals, comfort level, and response to treatment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work through material in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or messaging between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while using the therapeutic approaches above in a way that matches each person's needs and schedule.
