About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and depression. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nineteen years of experience and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable. Katie keeps sessions direct and focused so people leave with clearer next steps.
Katie helps people work through relationship struggles, grief, intimacy-related questions, and self-esteem challenges. She also supports clients facing parenting strain, sleep problems, chronic illness or pain, and issues around sexuality and identity.
Background and approach
Her approach is adaptable and centered on each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she emphasizes open conversation and practical skills. She guides people through coping tools for anger, bipolar symptoms, and social anxiety.
She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication breakdowns, and feelings of isolation or shame. Katie balances short-term problem solving with deeper work when needed. That can mean building coping strategies one week and addressing patterns or meaning the next.
She encourages small, doable steps so progress feels real and sustainable. People who choose Katie can expect straightforward language, clear goals, and an emphasis on what helps in daily life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many evidence-based techniques focus on teaching concrete skills and changing patterns of thinking or behavior. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work suits stress, depression, and anxiety-related problems.Another useful approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - setting small goals, building routines, and practicing new ways of reacting to triggers. That method helps with addictions, sleep problems, chronic pain management, and motivation challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaboration may mean trying a skill-based focus first and shifting to deeper pattern work later.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow real-time conversation similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions and live chat work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and text-based messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.
