About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly two decades of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Katie aims to make the first step feel doable and respectful of each person's situation.
Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to a person's needs. Sessions focus on practical strategies for coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
Background and approach
She encourages straightforward conversations about feelings and behavior so problems feel more manageable. Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to identity and sexuality. Katie also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of life changes.
She brings attention to patterns like attachment or abandonment that can affect relationships and self-worth. Therapy typically centers on setting small, realistic goals and developing tools that fit daily life. Katie helps clients practice new ways of responding to triggers and stressors.
Over time the aim is to increase resilience and improve functioning at home and work. Katie offers a direct, empathetic style that values honesty and collaboration. She frames sessions as a team effort and adjusts methods to match each person's comfort and goals.
Her approach seeks steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Katie relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and real-world change. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and teaching tools to shift those patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on building coping strategies and routine behavioral changes to address stress, addictions, sleep problems, and low motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will discuss goals, past efforts, and personal preferences, then collaboratively try methods that fit the client's situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let you cover material much like an in-person meeting, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress updates, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into busy parenting schedules and other day-to-day obligations.
