About Kathryn
Kathryn Feigin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Kathryn spends sessions listening to what feels most pressing and practical. She focuses on clear, ordinary goals - reducing anxious reactions, improving communication in important relationships, and finding ways to feel steadier day to day. Conversations are straightforward and oriented toward concrete changes rather than abstract theory.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and explains options in plain terms. Kathryn encourages people to try small, doable steps between meetings to test what helps. Progress is measured by whether daily life feels easier and relationships feel more manageable.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Kathryn helps people name difficult feelings like shame or guilt and then develops ways to respond to them differently. She also supports exploration of meaning and purpose for those who want to clarify next steps in career or life direction.
The first visit typically looks like mapping out what brings a person in, setting a few early goals, and agreeing on simple homework or practice. Kathryn encourages people to bring specific examples from real life so the work connects directly to everyday demands.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many of Kathryn's sessions use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more effective patterns. Cognitive-style approaches involve identifying stressful or negative thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, measurable changes - scheduling pleasant activities, practicing grounding strategies, or breaking tasks into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm.Another common approach she uses teaches skills for handling trauma-related reactions and strong emotions. This involves learning practical tools to tolerate intense feelings, rebuilding a sense of safety in daily routines, and practicing new ways of responding to triggers. These methods aim to make everyday life feel more predictable and manageable.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each person to decide which methods fit their current needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working and what is not.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit work, family, and other obligations more easily into their week. Online work can also make short check-ins and skills practice simpler to schedule, and it avoids the need to travel to appointments. Ask about session length and timing when you complete the intake questionnaire so sessions match your routine.
