About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arizona and Georgia with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. Katie also addresses intimacy-related struggles, relationship stress, and issues tied to self-esteem and identity, including LGBT and women's matters.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Katie listens to what is happening at home and helps people talk through immediate problems. Sessions focus on managing strong emotions, improving communication, and finding clearer steps forward.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across two states and a range of presenting concerns. That experience informs how she helps people cope with life changes, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and post-traumatic stress. Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's situation.
In meetings she helps people sort through attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, and the stress of parenting or caregiving. She also supports people dealing with financial strain, isolation, and challenges around sexuality and intimacy. Expect direct conversation and practical strategies you can try between sessions.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many of the approaches Katie uses focus on practical skills and clear strategies. Cognitive-style work helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Trauma-informed methods concentrate on stabilizing strong emotions, building coping skills, and addressing the effects of past hurt in manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts the plan as needs change so the methods remain focused and useful rather than academic or abstract.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. In general, remote therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home routine, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel. Licensed professionals can shape sessions to match schedules and practical constraints, helping people keep therapy consistent alongside work and family demands.
