About Katherine Weller
Katherine Weller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings three decades of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. Grounded in an understanding of human systems, she frames emotional and relational struggles within the broader context of early family experience, current relationships, work, school, and community influences. This systems perspective helps clarify how history and present circumstances shape identity, behavior, and connection with others.
She has worked in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, public health programs, military bases, agencies, and private practice across rural and urban communities. Those varied experiences have shaped a deep respect for the diversity of human experience and for the unique nature of each person’s challenges. Katherine draws on proven therapeutic models as needed, while emphasizing the central importance of a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship built through listening, thoughtful challenge, and encouragement toward positive action.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, career and relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue, along with additional attention to aging and caregiver issues, blended family dynamics, and other relational and life-stage stresses. Katherine aims to help people identify possibilities for hope, increased emotional wellness, and a renewed sense of personal agency.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Katherine Weller integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience through empathic listening and collaboration, helping individuals explore values, build self-regard, and find direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with each individual to identify which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance supports clear goals and actionable steps toward change.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and choose the communication style that fits a person’s comfort level and schedule.
