About Katherine
Katherine Weller is an LMFT (Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in Washington and California with 30 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, relationship problems, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing career questions, caregiving strain, life changes, and questions about meaning or midlife transitions.
She frames problems in the context of a person’s life. Early family experiences, current relationships, work and community all shape how someone sees themself and others. Katherine listens to what matters in a person’s everyday life and looks for concrete ways to reduce what gets in the way of feeling better.
In sessions she uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and also helps people set small, doable steps toward their goals. The focus is on what to try differently and how to notice what helps.
Her background includes work in hospitals, public health, military settings, agencies, and private practice in both rural and urban areas. Those roles shaped a breadth of experience with diverse situations and life stages. Katherine combines that history with a preference for clear, action-oriented planning in therapy.
Sessions aim to produce practical changes you can use day to day. People who come for help leave with specific strategies for coping, clearer priorities, and a plan for next steps. To begin, follow the site process to complete the short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Katherine Uses CBT and Related Methods Online
Online work with Katherine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce anxiety, low mood, and problems that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so a person can clarify their goals and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Katherine will talk with each person about current problems, what they hope to change, and which methods feel most practical. Together they select techniques and small experiments to try between sessions and review what works.
The site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The therapist will confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, so check current options when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on behavioral changes and coping strategies.
