Katherine "Katie" Farner

Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical, evidence-based care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and trauma. Katie aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and respectful of each person's situation.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple strategies that people can try between meetings. Katie listens for patterns in relationships, coping styles, and daily routines that affect mood and behavior.

Her background includes long-term professional work across multiple settings, and she holds LPC credentials in Georgia and Arizona. That experience helps her offer grounded support for common concerns like self-esteem, sleep problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions.

Katie also supports people navigating identity and sexuality questions, LGBT-related stress, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and money or work stress. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues that often underlie relationship struggles.

Therapy with Katie usually blends practical coping skills, discussion of past experiences when relevant, and planning for real-life changes. She encourages clients to set small, doable steps and checks in on progress over time. If you are ready to begin, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started.

Practical approaches for change, available online

Evidence-based techniques focus on clear skills and real-life habits. One approach emphasizes teaching coping and problem-solving skills that reduce stress, manage anger, and improve sleep. These are step-by-step strategies people can practice between sessions to notice quick changes in daily routines and reactions.

Another common focus helps process past painful experiences so they interfere less with current life. This involves talking through memories, understanding how they shape reactions today, and trying new ways of relating to others and to yourself. That work can help with trauma, attachment or abandonment concerns, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily life, and what feels manageable. Together you will try methods and adjust them based on what actually helps you reach your goals.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow for check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make sessions feasible when juggling caregiving, work, or treatment for chronic health issues.
