About Kathryn

Kathryn Reynolds is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Background and approach

Kathryn aims to make beginning therapy less intimidating and encourages that first step. Her approach centers on listening first.

She builds a calm space where clients can say what they worry about and what they want to change. Sessions often include problem-solving, clear communication practice, and ways to reduce daily stressors.

Kathryn uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to untangle strong feelings, and the Gottman Method for improving relationship interactions.

She also brings in motivational interviewing and narrative ideas when they help move someone forward. In session she tends to be straightforward and practical.

Conversations focus on what’s happening now, what stands in the way, and small steps that make a difference. Homework and short exercises are common so progress continues between meetings.

With five years of clinical experience and a Utah LMFT credential, Kathryn works with adults facing life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, trauma reactions, ADHD, and mood challenges. She guides people through anger, caregiver stress, career crossroads, and feeling isolated.

Her style is steady, collaborative, and action oriented.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and everyday interactions between people. In online sessions this can mean practicing specific conversations, learning small turn-taking skills, and developing ways to reduce reactive arguing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT often uses short exercises and worksheets to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful alternatives.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and try methods that fit their situation. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about what feels useful.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist see tone and body language for deeper feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when a shorter pulse of support is needed between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy life schedules.
