About

Katherine Stratton is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults to address a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also attends to related challenges such as adoption and foster care matters, family of origin issues, and first responder concerns.

Katherine draws on a compassionate stance to create a calm, steady space where difficult material can be explored at a manageable pace. She has training in Brainspotting, a body-oriented method that helps clients access and process stuck memories and sensations. This training complements her focus on issues like dissociation, panic, somatization, and guilt or shame.

Clients can expect an approach that values collaboration and paced progress. Katherine aims to help each person identify meaningful next steps, whether that involves symptom relief, making sense of past events, or rebuilding connection and self-compassion. She invites prospective clients to consider whether her areas of focus match their needs and to reach out to begin the intake process.

Remote care and therapeutic approaches



Katherine offers remote sessions that blend a compassion-centered stance with somatic-informed techniques. One approach she brings to telehealth is Brainspotting, a method that supports the brain in processing distressing memories and sensations. In a remote format, Brainspotting work focuses on careful pacing, noticing bodily responses, and using the screen or guided attention to access material that feels important to work through.

Alongside that method, Katherine emphasizes collaborative exploration of symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to identify specific stressors, develop tolerable adjustments to overwhelm, and connect thoughts and feelings to daily functioning. Her style invites clients to set the pace and to experiment with coping strategies between meetings.

Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to choose what feels most manageable for check-ins, focused processing, or ongoing support while working with Katherine.
