About Katherine
Katherine (Katy) Robison is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people coping with stress and anxiety. She also supports individuals facing family and parenting challenges and those dealing with depression. Katy aims to make it easier to talk about hard feelings and to find practical steps forward.
Katy draws on five years of clinical experience to keep sessions straightforward and focused. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain spoken and paced to match the client’s needs. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps people notice patterns and try new ways of handling stress, worry, or low mood.
Katy explains skills clearly and practices them together with clients so they can be used in daily life. She also attends to relationship patterns that affect mental health, including attachment concerns, communication problems, and blended family dynamics. She supports parents who feel overwhelmed and people coping with isolation or life transitions like midlife shifts or postpartum changes.
Katy works with issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, seasonal mood changes, and trauma reactions. Sessions are meant to be collaborative, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better coping.
How CBT and online sessions can help with worry and family strain
Katherine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on the link between thinking, feeling, and acting, and it offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage stressful situations.She tailors CBT exercises to each person's situation and pace. Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to pick methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions let people practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
