About Kathey
Rev. Kathey Wilborn is a licensed clinical social worker with 34 years of practice in California. She combines long experience with a calm, respectful manner to help people facing relationship and family concerns.
Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Kathey has worked in settings that included Christian counseling along with more general clinical work. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person's needs and background.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. In sessions she listens for what matters most and offers steps people can try between meetings. She supports clients who are sorting through forgiveness, guilt, or grief and those managing workplace or caregiver stress.
Financial pressures, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose are also within her scope. She also addresses concerns around body image, chronic illness and pain, pregnancy and childbirth, and post-traumatic stress. The focus is on building confidence and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
Kathey describes therapy as a partnership. She encourages people to bring their real questions and small steps for change. Her goal is to help clients move toward a more satisfying, balanced life.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work
Two evidence-based methods often used in family and relationship work include trauma-informed care and strengths-based counseling. Trauma-informed care focuses on understanding how past hurt affects current behavior and feelings, and it helps people develop safety and coping strategies for daily life. Strengths-based counseling looks for a person's existing resources and skills, then builds on those to solve problems and improve confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and comfort level. That means trying something, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together as needed.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy families and people with limited travel options. Those formats make it easier to fit sessions into a workday or caregiving schedule and to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can provide guidance, homework, and check-ins through these channels to keep progress moving forward.
