Katie Brockman, LCSW

Katie Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people handle stress and anxiety, process grief, and gain steadier self-esteem. Her work is grounded in a calm, collaborative style that aims to help clients feel heard and understood.

She supports people through relationship shifts and blended family adjustments, helping them sort new roles and expectations. She also helps those dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, guilt and shame, and the stresses that come with caregiving.

In sessions she uses clear, practical tools. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing focused attention and breathing. She also uses motivational strategies to help clients find reasons to change and stick with new habits.

Katie emphasizes building skills that fit daily life. Together with a client she sets achievable goals, practices coping skills, and checks progress week to week. The aim is steady improvement you can notice between sessions.

Her approach stays flexible and client-centered. She listens first, then shapes the plan around what each person needs. People looking for support with caregiver stress, parenting strain, forgiveness work, or navigating life changes may find her practical, steady style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and shaping goals that matter to the client. This approach helps with relationship stress, caregiving strain, and finding clarity during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, low self-esteem, and coping with daily pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what helps someone make steady progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and skill practices between sessions to reinforce progress.
