About Kathrine

Kathrine Hanley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and people dealing with postpartum depression or challenges around pregnancy and childbirth. Kathrine writes simply and listens closely to each person's experience.

She draws on a decade of experience working in California to offer practical tools and steady support. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small steps that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Conversations are aimed at making emotions easier to understand and problems easier to handle. Kathrine pays attention to immediate needs like calming techniques and planning next steps. She also helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding.

The work balances short-term coping with longer-term change. Her approach is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps guide choices rather than giving one-size-fits-all answers.

This makes it easier to adapt strategies to work with each person's routine and responsibilities. People who choose her often want straightforward support and tools they can use between sessions. Kathrine aims to make those tools practical, so they fit into a busy life and help reduce worry, manage grief, and handle transitions more smoothly.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Kathrine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many people benefit from tailored, practical techniques that target symptoms and daily challenges. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills and behavioral practices to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These tools help with worry, sleeplessness, and overwhelming feelings by giving concrete steps to try between sessions. Another approach looks at grief and life transitions by helping people make sense of loss, reorganize routines, and build small rituals that support recovery. This kind of work aims to help people regain a sense of direction and hope.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Kathrine works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, childcare, or health needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, camera-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to check in between sessions, track progress, or get brief coaching when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical.
