About Kaete
LMFT in California with 24 years of clinical experience, Kaete Elliott helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strains, and LGBT concerns. She offers direct, practical conversation focused on current problems and coping steps. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
Kaete centers work on everyday skills that make life more manageable. She talks through breathing and grounding strategies for panic and anxiety and practical ways to reduce ongoing stress. For anger and relationship problems she focuses on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and noticing patterns that keep the same fights repeating.
When separation or divorce is involved, she helps people sort priorities and make decisions that reduce escalation. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, isolation, and forgiveness by breaking larger issues into small, doable steps. The emphasis is on concrete actions rather than abstract talk.
Kaete draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Her style is collaborative: she listens, identifies patterns, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so the work can change if something isn’t helping.
All work is offered in English and is oriented to adults in California. People who want to try a first session are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment to begin planning next steps.

How her evidence-based approaches translate to remote work
Kaete uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. For anxiety and panic she emphasizes grounding and breathing strategies and exposure-based steps to reduce avoidance. These are taught in short exercises that can be practiced between sessions to build tolerance and reduce panic symptoms.For relationship and communication problems she uses clear, actionable tools such as structured communication practices and boundary-setting exercises. These help people notice interaction patterns and try small changes that alter how conversations unfold. For issues like guilt, shame, and isolation she guides people through step-by-step behavioral tasks that increase contact and reduce withdrawal.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review how techniques are working and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That means trying an exercise, checking its effect, and switching course if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or lunch break, avoid travel time, and use short check-ins when a longer in-person visit is impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt these techniques to remote settings so the work stays focused on everyday changes.
