Katherine "Kate" Tower

Katherine "Kate" Tower is an LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience, licensed in Indiana and Tennessee. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Kate also helps those coping with life changes, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, addiction concerns, and career uncertainty. Her approach mixes practical skills with reflective conversation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice what matters and handle strong feelings. Client-Centered Therapy and mindfulness practices are also part of her work, which can make talking and learning feel more straightforward. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Kate often helps people build day-to-day routines that reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and concentration. For someone wrestling with career doubt or parenting strain, she breaks concerns into smaller problems and practices new ways of responding. She pays attention to relationship patterns and communication problems when those issues come up. The Gottman Method informs her work on improving how people solve conflict and connect. She also addresses longer-term stressors like caregiving burden, chronic illness, and trauma histories in plain, direct ways. People who are uncertain about direction or purpose can expect collaborative goal-setting and gentle challenges. Kate aims to help clients experiment with different behaviors and notice what changes. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and practice actions that align with those values. Online sessions can focus on exercises that reveal priorities and small steps to try between appointments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered over video or phone, DBT skill practice can make stressful moments easier to manage and reduce impulsive reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaborative listening and reflection so clients can find their own answers. In remote sessions this looks like guided conversation, feedback, and jointly setting the next practical step. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. That partnership helps decide whether to prioritize values work, skills training, or communication practice. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Knowing the available options lets you pick what fits around work, caregiving, or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to an office.
