About Katie
Katie Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 12 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and addictive patterns. She prioritizes clear steps and steady support so clients can make manageable changes.
Her work often addresses family dynamics and the strain that caregiving can bring. She helps people adjust to blended family roles, set healthier boundaries, and tackle shame, guilt, or compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and aimed at everyday improvements rather than abstract theory.
Katie uses a client-centered frame that keeps the person's goals in view. She combines that with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Katie listens first, then proposes small, concrete steps to try between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change when people feel unsure or stuck.
Her background includes twelve years of clinical social work in Tennessee, during which she has supported individuals and couples through transitions and losses. People who want straightforward guidance, practical coping skills, and a calm, respectful clinician often find her approach helpful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. The therapist creates space to be heard, then helps shape practical steps that match what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood and try out new behaviors to see what changes.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That plan can change over time based on what feels most effective and manageable.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to practical exercises and homework, which translate well to remote sessions. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
