About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. She brings 19 years of experience to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and parenting challenges. Katie keeps sessions direct and simple so busy parents can find time and clarity for change.
Katie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. She listens for patterns that cause pain and works with clients to try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on skills that people can use at home, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, or rebuilding routines. Her background includes long-term clinical practice across state lines, carrying licensure in Arizona and Georgia. Katie draws on proven therapeutic techniques to address trauma, grief, and intimacy-related concerns while supporting people struggling with sleep, self-esteem, and life transitions.
She also brings experience with attachment and abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around sexuality and identity. Financial worries, loneliness, and questions about life purpose are other common topics she addresses in sessions. Katie offers a straightforward way to start therapy: complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions to fit personal availability.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients notice change and build skills between appointments.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Evidence-based approaches focus the work in straightforward ways. One common approach uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. This can be useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood shifts.Another approach emphasizes skills for regulating emotions and improving relationships. These techniques teach ways to notice strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and practice clearer communication with others, which helps with anger, intimacy issues, and parenting stress.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. They adjust the plan over time when something is or is not working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people connect face to face without travel, phone sessions work for those on the go, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, and caregiving.
