About Katherine
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with five years of experience, Katherine Stratton focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults according to her biography. Sessions address both immediate concerns and patterns that maintain distress.
Katherine frames sessions around practical talk and paced interventions. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and break problems into manageable steps. She uses Brainspotting as a tool to access stuck memories and sensations and pairs that with standard therapeutic conversation.
Clients can expect direct, calm sessions that alternate talking and targeted processing. Katherine explains tools, practices them together with the person, and checks how they work between meetings. She places particular attention on stress from caregiving roles and on problems that arise after trauma.
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, control issues, dissociation, family of origin issues, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hoarding, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, panic and panic attacks, self-love, and somatization. These topics are addressed in concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Katherine emphasizes gradual progress and collaborative planning. She asks about daily routines, strengths, and barriers, then suggests small experiments to try between sessions. To start, people use the site questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online options offered.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Brainspotting is described in her biography as a method that helps the brain process stuck memories and sensations. In practice this involves guided attention to eye positions and noticing physical signals while talking. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and other issues that carry strong body sensations. She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in general clinical work. That usually means combining focused talk, behavioral suggestions, and simple exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Those approaches help with stress, panic, grief, and depression by giving concrete steps to try between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and the person compare options, try an approach, and adjust based on how it feels and what progress appears. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s goals and tolerance for different interventions. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require video when that better fits someone’s day or bandwidth.Sheet 3
