About Kathryn
Kathryn Feightner is a KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with 14 years of experience working in school settings. She focuses on stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and related concerns. Kathryn works from Kansas and conducts sessions in English.
Her background centers on practical, conversational work. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through stress and anxiety and build motivation. Sessions are paced to the person's needs and often focus on skills people can use between meetings.
Kathryn pays attention to relationship and family strain and addresses parenting concerns, blended family issues, and codependency in individual sessions. She also supports people navigating LGBT-related challenges, trauma and abuse, and questions related to intellectual disability or autism and Asperger Syndrome.
The approach is collaborative and straightforward. Kathryn and the person set goals together and check progress as therapy continues. She adapts the dialogue and the plan based on how someone responds rather than following a fixed script.
Practical matters are part of the work. She notes that signing up for therapy can feel like a big step and walks people through the first scheduling steps. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

How Kathryn integrates evidence-based techniques into online work
Many of Kathryn's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice. One common approach emphasizes practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as identifying triggers, breaking worries into manageable steps, and practicing short behavioral experiments to test unhelpful thoughts. This helps people reduce daily overwhelm and try new ways of coping.Another approach centers on building confidence and self-esteem through goal-setting and behavior change. Sessions may include small, measurable actions that increase motivation and track progress over time. For relationship and family concerns she uses problem-focused conversations to clarify roles, boundaries, and communication patterns that can be adjusted in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn't working, so treatment is guided by the client's goals and responses.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow short check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the equation. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and the first appointment to find what will work best.
