Katherine Howes, LCSW

Katherine Howes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and problems with addiction and anger. She also supports clients facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, body image and eating concerns, and career or life transitions.

Katherine aims to meet each person where they are and build confidence for moving forward. She speaks plainly and listens first, then tailors conversations and goals to each person's needs. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.

Her background includes work inside the juvenile justice system and schools. That experience shaped how she responds to people from different backgrounds and life situations. She draws on that history when helping people identify their strengths and practical next steps.

Katherine uses several approaches depending on a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness to practice noticing the moment. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also inform her work when people want to shift habits or reframe their story.

People who choose therapy with her can expect a collaborative plan and clear, everyday goals. She adapts the pace to the person in front of her and focuses on usable skills. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client guides the pace and topics; it helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to land on practical techniques you can use between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins regular. It also lets people use brief focused sessions when they need a quick skill refresh or longer sessions for deeper work. Licensed professionals tailor each session to the client's needs and daily life.
