About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arizona and Georgia with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, and anger. Katie also supports people dealing with relationship issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, and other life changes.
Katie draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to work with individuals. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about what is happening now and what gets in the way of change. She uses straightforward interventions to help people recognize patterns, develop coping tools, and practice different ways of responding under pressure.
Her background includes Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor experience and a long history of clinical work across mood and trauma-related concerns. That experience informs how she approaches complex issues like addiction, post-traumatic stress, and attachment-related concerns. Katie pays attention to how stress and past hurts shape current reactions, including anger.
In sessions she helps people name reactions and try new responses in small steps. She often breaks larger problems into manageable tasks so progress feels realistic. Practical skills for coping with intense feelings and improving communication are common session topics.
People who come for help with anger can expect direct conversations about triggers, patterns, and results. Katie also addresses related issues such as forgiveness, guilt, relationship strain, and caregiver stress. She works in English and practices within Georgia and Arizona licensure.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Many of her sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches practical coping strategies for stress, anger, and anxiety; this involves learning breathing and grounding techniques, pacing reactions, and practicing new responses in everyday situations. Another approach is trauma-informed work which helps people make sense of past hurts and reduce their influence on present behavior by identifying patterns and developing safer ways to cope.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will collaborate with each person to figure out which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. That means regularly checking how interventions are working and making changes as needed so the plan stays relevant to the client's needs.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for practicing communication skills, while phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for focused conversations. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match the session style to your routine and goals.
