About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Sandven Moss is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage addictions, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, motivation, and self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Katie focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and works with them to try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing new communication strategies, naming attachment or control dynamics, or breaking down big problems into manageable tasks.
She has worked with people facing abandonment or attachment issues, body image and self-worth struggles, caregiver stress, and anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks. Katie also helps with financial stress, impulse control, and the aftermath of separation or divorce. Her approach is oriented toward addressing immediate concerns while noticing longer-term patterns.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Katie encourages clients to bring real-life examples from home so they can try alternatives between meetings. Progress is often measured in small, concrete changes like clearer conversations, fewer reactive moments, or steadier moods.
To begin, clients follow an online matching process and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Katie brings therapeutic techniques to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in straightforward, practical ways. One common approach focuses on attachment and relational patterns. Sessions look at how past connections shape present reactions and practice different ways of relating to reduce repeated conflict and isolation.Another useful approach targets impulse control and anxiety symptoms. That involves short behavioral experiments, breathing or grounding practices for panic, and step-by-step plans to change impulsive habits. These techniques are aimed at making small, repeatable changes that add up over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process where techniques are matched to what actually helps in daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules because they remove travel time and can be scheduled during a lunch break or between appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when needing a quick reset. Discussing practical arrangements during the first meeting helps make therapy fit day-to-day life.
