About Katherine
Katherine Weller is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with three decades of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting and family concerns, career questions, and the fallout of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also guides people facing life transitions, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Katherine uses a practical, person-focused approach.
Sessions center on clear listening, respectful challenge, and collaborative planning. She works to build hope, strengthen self-regard, and identify steps clients can take between sessions.
Her background includes work in hospitals, public health settings, military bases, agencies, and small community practices in both rural and urban areas. This variety informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s history and current situation.
Katherine pays attention to how family of origin, work, and community shape feelings and choices. She draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs.
That may mean skill-building, shifting unhelpful thinking, coaching toward practical goals, or focusing on present strengths to solve immediate problems. The relationship in the room is central to the work she does.
Katherine holds licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed to practice in Washington and California. Her experience aims to help people move toward clearer direction, greater emotional balance, and more confidence in their everyday lives.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, supportive relationship so people can understand themselves better and make their own changes; it is helpful for stress, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior.Choosing the right approach is a team decision. Katherine will work together with each person to match methods to specific goals and day-to-day needs. That decision can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and coaching-style exchanges possible between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
