Katie Brockman, LCSW

Katie Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people through hard moments. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on everyday struggles like stress and anxiety. Katie also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, and the strain that comes with caregiving.

Katie works in a straightforward, compassionate way. She listens first, then helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions. Clients often work on clearer boundaries, healthier relationship patterns, and ways to manage strong emotions when they come up.

Her practice includes work with blended family concerns, parenting stress, and the complicated feelings that follow loss. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness in ways that feel manageable. Addiction-related worries and compassion fatigue are also areas she addresses in sessions.

Katie uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered conversations and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on skills you can use in daily life, like changing unhelpful thoughts, calming the body, and making small behavior changes that add up.

People who choose Katie tend to want clear steps and a caring listener. The process is collaborative; she helps set goals and checks progress along the way. This approach aims to make change feel doable instead of overwhelming.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Sessions center on the person’s priorities and the therapist reflects understanding while helping clients find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can help with stress, grief, and self-criticism.

Choosing the right way to work together is part of the process. Katie collaborates with clients to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts focus as progress is made. That means sessions may combine listening, skill practice, and short homework tailored to daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let clients see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quicker problem-solving, or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
