About Kathryn
Kathryn Feigin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also offers focused support around guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, and developing self-love.
Kathryn uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions are a place to talk through worries, sort through feelings, and notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She aims to help clients build clearer thinking and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes hands-on clinical work in California settings. That experience shaped a practical approach to common concerns like anxiety and low mood. She combines listening with concrete suggestions so people can test new ways of handling difficult moments.
In work with trauma and relationship distress Kathryn focuses on safety and pacing. She helps people notice their reactions and learn ways to respond that feel less automatic. With guilt and shame she invites gentle curiosity about where those feelings come from and what they are trying to protect.
People who come to Kathryn often want clear, realistic guidance and a partner in making small changes. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set manageable goals. To begin she follows a straightforward intake and scheduling process so new clients can find out if her style fits their needs.
Approaches Kathryn Uses and how online sessions work
Kathryn draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns of thought and behavior. One common approach helps people identify automatic thoughts that fuel anxiety or shame, then tests those thoughts against reality to reduce their intensity and influence. This method is practical and often helpful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.She also uses paced, trauma-informed ways of working that prioritize noticing reactions and building tolerance for difficult memories or sensations. This helps people regain a sense of control and choose responses rather than reacting on autopilot. Such an approach can be useful for relationship strain or trauma and abuse recovery.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together the client and Kathryn decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
