About Kathrine
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 10 years of experience in California, Kathrine Hanley works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also focuses on postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. Kathrine meets people who need practical support for day-to-day coping and for transitions that upend routines and roles.
Her sessions are conversational and task-focused. She listens to what matters most, helps sort priorities, and offers tools to manage strong feelings and tricky moments. Sessions include problem-solving, emotion regulation strategies, and planning for next steps that fit each person’s life.
Kathrine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and grief and to support people adjusting to new parenthood. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting. The work is collaborative - she and the client decide what to try and when to change course.
Her previous work in California settings over a decade has included supporting people through loss, caregiving strain, and burnout. That background informs how she helps clients recognize patterns, set small goals, and practice new ways of responding to stress.

How evidence-based methods guide remote sessions
Many of Kathrine's sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific problems and teach skills people can use between meetings. One commonly used approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more balanced ways of thinking. This is useful for anxiety and stress management.Another frequent element is grief-focused support, which involves normalizing strong emotions, creating ways to remember what was lost, and developing routines that help with daily functioning. This approach is aimed at helping people work through bereavement or other kinds of loss at a manageable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process is collaborative and based on your needs and preferences.
The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the session formats offered before booking to know what is available. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, longer problem-solving sessions, or regular weekly meetings depending on what fits your life.
