About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Sandven Moss is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people cope with addictions, relationship tensions, family conflict, parenting challenges, motivation, and self-esteem. Katie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and constructive for new clients.
She encourages open conversation and works to build a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken plainly. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on clear ways to notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. Katie also concentrates on building confidence and motivation alongside emotional work.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing mood and panic symptoms, impulsivity, and isolation or loneliness. Katie brings experience addressing attachment concerns, abandonment fears, and struggles with guilt, shame, and forgiveness. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation and those managing caregiver stress.
Money and financial issues are part of the topics she helps people sort through when they affect mood, relationships, or decision making. Katie listens for how finances intersect with values, control, and self-worth, and helps clients untangle those connections.
Therapy with Katie is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients set small goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thought and behavior patterns and on improving relationships. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different responses; they are often useful for mood concerns, panic symptoms, and low self-esteem. Relationship-focused strategies look at communication and interaction patterns to reduce conflict and improve connection, which can help with family tension, parenting struggles, and separation issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adapt techniques to fit what matters most to you. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps and what does not, so clients play an active role in deciding what to try next.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or allow sessions that do not require being on camera when that feels better for the client. Licensed professionals can help match session style and frequency to practical needs and goals.
