About Katherine
LMFT in California with 16 years of experience, Katherine Jones helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, sleep problems, and questions about identity and gender. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). Katherine focuses on practical skills and honest conversation to address day-to-day struggles and larger life transitions.
Katherine uses a mix of listening and active skill teaching. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also offers dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices to build coping tools for intense feelings and stress.
Sessions look at current problems and recurring patterns. Katherine helps people spot habits that keep them stuck and practices new responses together. She supports those navigating BDSM and kink communities, non-monogamous relationships, and people who feel isolated or out of step with the mainstream.
Her approach combines attention to attachment and early patterns with concrete strategies for emotion regulation and communication. That means talking about past influences while also rehearsing skills that can be used the next day. Katherine often works with clients on career concerns, self-esteem, and finding purpose during life changes.
She welcomes clients from LGBT communities and those exploring gender dysphoria. Sessions are aimed at building a better baseline for daily life while addressing deeper mood and relationship issues over time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can be used to notice how someone talks about closeness and practice different responses to reduce hurt and isolation. Client-centered therapy focuses on following what the client brings. In virtual sessions the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most so the client feels understood and can choose next steps. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are easy to learn in conversation and can be practiced between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in on what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining listening with skill practice where useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Talk-based therapy and skills practice translate well to remote sessions and can be scheduled to fit everyday life without changing the nature of the work.
