Katherine "Katie" Farner, LPC

Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to addiction and trauma. Katie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

She creates an open space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on real-life problems like sleep difficulties, grief, relationship strain, and self-esteem. Katie works to identify immediate coping strategies as well as longer-term patterns that keep problems coming back.

Over 19 years of work, she has supported people facing post-traumatic stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the emotional effects of life transitions. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, sexuality, and financial stress when these affect daily wellbeing.

Katie holds licensure as an LPC in Arizona and Georgia. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and designed to balance practical coping with time to process difficult feelings.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative step. Katie helps people set clear goals, try small changes between sessions, and notice what works. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people regain steadier days.

How evidence-based work translates to online therapy

Many of the approaches Katie uses are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills, safety, and processing difficult events. Brief practical interventions teach coping skills for anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation by practicing small changes between sessions. Trauma-focused methods help people work through post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns by pacing exposure and teaching grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with each person about their goals and past experiences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needs change, so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, skip travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coping plans to work in everyday routines, helping therapy translate into more steady day-to-day progress.
