About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and other mood or life-change challenges. She also lists work with ADHD, intimacy questions, eating concerns, and career or purpose issues.
Before private practice, she worked in therapeutic group homes, the juvenile justice system, and community mental health. Those settings shaped how she organizes sessions and sets practical goals. She favors an active, collaborative approach that focuses on clear steps and measurable targets.
Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods. She uses CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and attachment work to look at relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy also appear in her approach when they fit the goals.
In sessions she helps people name repeating storylines from their past and notice how those patterns affect current relationships. Then she supports trying different responses and building new coping skills. She often frames work around time-limited goals so progress can be tracked.
Jorie holds a BA in Psychology, an MA in Child, Couple, and Family Therapy, and an MBA in Healthcare Management. She practices in Washington as a WA LMFT and offers therapy in English. If someone wants to start, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jorie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in day-to-day life, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses, useful for relationship and intimacy issues. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and experience, keeping sessions oriented around what the client wants to change.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as things change. The decision is based on the client’s needs, what they want to accomplish, and what feels practical for them.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to attend when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is helpful. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
