About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly two decades of experience. Katie speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Katie draws on a variety of proven approaches to match each person's needs. She helps people who are coping with depression, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related questions, and sleep problems.
How Katherine works
Her work also covers issues like anger, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges tied to sexuality and LGBT identities. Her background includes practice in both Arizona and Georgia as a credentialed LPC. Over 19 years she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, abandonment and attachment concerns, and chronic illness or pain.
Katie also helps with practical life stressors such as money worries, caregiving strain, and navigating major life changes. In sessions she focuses on creating a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. People can expect a conversational approach that names patterns, teaches coping skills, and sets manageable goals.
She works to make therapy useful from week to week rather than only talk. Katie offers appointments online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started is a simple matching and scheduling process that leads into collaborative work on the issues that matter most.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Many of her sessions use straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach skills and clarify patterns. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety, stress, and sleep issues by teaching simple breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies that can be practiced between visits. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and painful experiences in manageable steps, helping people reduce symptom intensity and rebuild day-to-day functioning.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels most helpful. Together they try a path that fits the person’s needs and adjust it when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when a quieter format fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep momentum between appointments.
