About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Sandven Moss is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 12 years of experience helping people who are struggling with addictions, relationship stress, family conflict, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. Katie aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and straightforward.
In sessions she focuses on building an open space where people can say what they are feeling without judgment. She talks with clients about concrete problems like communication breakdowns, impulse control, and panic attacks, and she works with them to set realistic next steps. Clients often address issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, guilt, or caregiving stress.
Katie also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce or separation and those dealing with money and financial worries. She helps people sort out what matters most and find ways to reduce overwhelm. Her approach emphasizes clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
With a practical focus, sessions can include talking through coping skills for mood disorders and panic, strategies for improving confidence, and problem-solving around parenting challenges. Katie recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make scheduling and beginning therapy as simple as possible.
She practices in California and provides services in English. People interested in working together start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How Katie applies evidence-based techniques in online care
Therapy here draws on common evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and grounding strategies and short behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. This can help when panic attacks or persistent worry interfere with daily life.Another useful approach targets relationship and attachment concerns by looking at how patterns of communication and past relationship experiences shape current interactions. Sessions work on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust after conflict or separation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy workday and avoiding travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations helpful when they have limited bandwidth for video. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
