About Kathryn

Kathryn Reynolds is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, parenting concerns, and issues with self-esteem. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction challenges, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and life transitions.

Kathryn aims to make it easier for someone worried about their family or life to take a first step toward help. Kathryn keeps sessions straightforward and practical.

Background and approach

She builds a calm space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She uses clear tools and gentle guidance to help clients identify patterns and try new ways of relating and coping. Her work draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns.

Kathryn blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at thought and behavior links - with Emotionally-Focused Therapy - which focuses on feelings in relationships - and relationship-based methods like the Gottman approach. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories.

With five years of clinical experience and the Utah LMFT credential, Kathryn brings practical experience to family and parenting concerns. She meets clients where they are and helps map small steps forward. Her manner is encouraging and steady, aimed at helping people feel more capable in daily life.

To begin, she suggests a simple sign-up and matching process, then scheduling a session that fits the client’s needs and availability.

Online approaches that focus on thoughts and relationships

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In online sessions this method helps people change unhelpful thinking and build specific coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. EFT - Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in close relationships. Delivered online, it helps partners or family members understand core feelings and respond with more connection and support. The Gottman Method offers practical tools to improve communication and manage conflict. It focuses on small, teachable skills that couples and family members can practice between sessions to strengthen trust and routine interactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting over time. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls closely mirror in-person conversations, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging offer more flexible ways to check in. These options help people connect from home, coordinate around family schedules, and keep continuity during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
