About Katherine
Katherine Peatross is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse recovery, anxiety and stress management, family dynamics, and parenting concerns. Katherine also supports people coping with posttraumatic stress, communication problems, and control issues.
She has worked with people across the lifespan and has experience supporting older adults and members of the deaf and hard of hearing community. She has also worked with individuals with intellectual disabilities and with people whose lives involve adoption, foster care, or fertility challenges.
Katherine offers practical, evidence-based approaches aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions often include talking through patterns that come from family of origin and learning skills to manage stress and sleep problems. She also helps people develop clearer communication and set boundaries when control issues become overwhelming.
Her experience includes providing care for people facing cancer-related concerns and for those navigating parenting stresses. She emphasizes understanding how family roles and expectations shape current choices and relationships. Work in sessions tends to be straightforward and focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches Katherine uses are symptom-focused skills work and family-systems informed care. Symptom-focused skills work teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, sleep problems, and stress through clear strategies and practice. Family-systems informed care looks at how roles and expectations from the family someone grew up in affect current behavior and relationships, and helps people try different ways of relating.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then choose techniques to try together. That may mean adjusting the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and fewer barriers from travel time.

Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or meet during a work break while keeping therapy part of everyday life.
