Katherine WellerLMFT

Katherine Weller is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the emotional sides of parenting and family life. She supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or demanding work. Katherine works with concerns that include self-esteem, career pressures, life changes, and questions about purpose and money.

Her approach is grounded in understanding people in the context of their lives. She pays attention to early family influences, current relationships, work and community factors that shape how someone sees themselves. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship, listening carefully, and offering practical challenges and encouragement.

Katherine draws from several therapy methods to suit each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to make space for the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and solution-focused strategies when they fit the goals.

Over three decades she has worked in hospitals, public health, military bases, agencies, and small practices in both rural and urban settings. Those varied roles shaped her respect for diverse life experiences and the different ways people cope with stress and change.

Katherine aims to help people find hope, greater self-regard, and clearer steps forward. Working together, she helps clients turn insights into action so they can move toward the personal goals that matter to them.

How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. It involves listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you guide the focus of each meeting. This approach helps when someone needs space to clarify feelings or make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problems like sleep or worry.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, and managing crises when they arise.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process is part of finding what works for you.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and timing so sessions fit your daily life.
