Katherine Howes, LCSW

Katherine Howes is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 6 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger management. She focuses on meeting each person where they are and helping them build confidence to move forward, tailoring both conversation and treatment plans to the unique needs of every client.

Katherine approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and draws on years of work in juvenile justice and school settings to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. She emphasizes identifying strengths and using those strengths as a foundation for progress, whether the goal is improved relationships, emotional regulation, or greater resilience.

Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and Katherine aims to support that momentum with practical, individualized guidance. Her practice centers on collaborative planning and steady encouragement so clients can pursue the specific outcomes they value in counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches Katherine Uses for Online Care

Katherine often draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the client's own goals and perspectives. This approach prioritizes empathy and collaboration to help people feel heard and to build confidence as they set and pursue personal goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps clients develop skills to manage anxiety, mood challenges, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Katherine integrates to help clients learn present-focused awareness and coping strategies for stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and easier access to care. These options allow clients to connect from home, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support even when life is hectic.
