About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Sandven Moss is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, motivation, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with confidence and related concerns such as panic attacks and mood problems.
Katie keeps sessions direct and practical. She helps clients talk through what’s getting in the way of daily life and tries simple, actionable steps to shift patterns. Conversations focus on concrete goals - improving communication, reducing impulsive behavior, or managing panic symptoms - and on small changes that feel doable.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in California settings where she supported individuals with family conflict, divorce and separation stress, caregiver strain, and attachment concerns. That experience informs how she frames therapy and the examples she uses in sessions.
In practice she pays attention to interactions that keep problems going, such as control issues or avoidance, and looks for ways to test new behaviors between sessions. She addresses related issues like guilt, shame, body image, money worries, and loneliness when they come up.
Katie describes the first session as a chance to map priorities and try an initial approach. If someone chooses to continue, she and the client revisit goals and adapt methods based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Approaches used and how online sessions can work
Therapy with this LMFT uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and relationships. One approach looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps test small behavior changes to reduce panic, impulsivity, or avoidance. Another approach concentrates on communication and attachment patterns to improve how people relate and to reduce conflict or loneliness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted to fit someone’s day-to-day needs and priorities.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to use real-life situations discussed in session as material for change, since progress is tested between meetings and tracked over time.
