About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to guide people through relationship and family concerns. She combines practical strategies with a focus on how past experiences shape current patterns. Her tone is collaborative and goal-focused.
Jorie is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in Washington. She spent more than a decade in social service settings before focusing on marriage and family therapy. That early work included group homes, juvenile justice, community mental health, and independent practice.
How Jorie works
Those roles shaped a steady focus on relationships and everyday coping skills. Jorie helps people notice how their life stories influence feelings and behavior. She talks through patterns, attachment dynamics, and communication habits.
From there she works with clients to set concrete goals and try new ways of responding. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing. Therapy tends to be collaborative and active - clients set goals and track progress together with the therapist.
Sessions often focus on building coping skills and improving communication. Jorie also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand long-running patterns that affect mood, relationships, and parenting. She has training in maternal mental health and child mental health specialization which informs work around pregnancy, postpartum, and family transitions.
Her background supports work on stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and many relationship issues.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach aim to identify those patterns and practice different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflecting concerns and helping people name what matters most. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and clarifying values.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people message between sessions, track progress, or check in when schedules are tight. These options make therapy more flexible for busy lives and different comfort levels.
