About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and lists a broad range of concerns she helps people with, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and anger.
Katie focuses on practical conversations in sessions. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her approach to what the person needs in the moment. Sessions tend to center on identifying stressful patterns, learning concrete strategies to respond differently, and practicing new ways of communicating feelings.
People reach out to Katie for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness challenges, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and loneliness. Sexuality, LGBT matters, women’s concerns, and issues around money and life purpose are also listed among her focus areas.
Katie draws on nearly two decades of experience to help people sort out what’s driving repeated anger, resentment, or outbursts. She talks through triggers and helps develop manageable steps for handling heated moments and ongoing frustration.
Clients should expect straightforward sessions that aim to teach skills and shift everyday interactions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if her style fits their needs.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many of the evidence-based approaches Katie uses break down into clear steps you can practice between sessions. Cognitive-behavioral style techniques involve spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to reduce reactive responses; these are useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood. Skills-based work focuses on breathing, grounding, and de-escalation tactics to use in heated moments, which helps when temper flares or resentment builds.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie will work collaboratively to identify which techniques fit the person's goals and daily life, adjusting strategies as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The practical advantage of online work is fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice skills in the environments where problems arise.
