About Kathrine
Kathrine Hanley, LCSW, offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress and anxiety. She focuses on helping clients manage worry, handle relationship strain, and cope with grief and life changes. Her approach aims to give simple tools that can be used between sessions.
She brings ten years of social work experience in California to her sessions. Kathrine listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
People also talk with her about compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth. Kathrine helps parents and new caregivers find ways to balance self-care with caring for others. She breaks larger problems into smaller steps so progress feels manageable.
Her style is direct and warm. Sessions include practical strategies, problem-solving, and emotional support. Homework or short practices between meetings are common to build new habits over time.
Kathrine works with clients in English and offers multiple online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and manage stress. One common approach teaches skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this helps when worry or negative thinking gets in the way of daily life. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - breaking tasks into small steps, building routines, and practicing exposure to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust strategies together. This collaborative process helps find what feels most useful and practical for each person.
Online sessions allow the same evidence-based methods to be used over video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls are good for a full session with face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief support into a busy day. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, or medical schedules.
