About Kathrine
Kathrine Hanley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also has a focus on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify immediate concerns and make small, useful changes. Sessions include talking through current problems, learning coping skills for anxiety and stress, and creating clear steps for managing grief and life transitions. Expectations and next steps are discussed at the start of care.
Her approach emphasizes real-world strategies that fit into daily life. That can mean short coaching tools for a busy day, planning for emotional demands around childbirth, or managing exhaustion from caregiving and work. She helps people find ways to reduce overwhelm without adding extra tasks.
Kathrine draws on evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress. She works collaboratively to prioritize what matters most, whether that is reducing panic, repairing communication with a partner, or finding support during postpartum struggles. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
People who choose her can expect plain language, practical goals, and a focus on functioning in everyday roles. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps to schedule a first session and discuss the best plan for their situation.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that target symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach involves teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These are brief skills that can be practiced between sessions and used during busy days.Another helpful method focuses on processing grief and major life changes through structured conversations and gradual goal-setting. This approach breaks large losses into small steps, helping people re-engage with routines and responsibilities at a manageable pace. When pregnancy or postpartum concerns are present, sessions concentrate on coping strategies, planning for changes, and symptom recognition rather than medical care.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She checks progress and adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits practical constraints and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without video when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is preferable.
