About Katherine
Katherine Eldean is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and the challenges of parenting and family life. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative effort. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths. In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage difficult thoughts and intense emotions.
Attachment-based ideas guide her work on relationship and abandonment concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used when someone wants to clarify values and take action despite uncomfortable feelings. Client-centered principles shape the pace and focus of sessions so people set the goals.
Katherine has worked with a wide range of issues over two decades, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, codependency, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She also addresses communication problems, commitment concerns, dissociation, and the impact of domestic violence or divorce on coping.
She offers help in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Using ACT, Attachment Work, and CBT in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connection affects current reactions; it can help with abandonment, intimacy, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns for problems like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time so the approach aligns with practical needs at home.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult; check current offerings to see what formats she provides.
