About Kathey

Rev. Kathey Wilborn is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 34 years of experience. She brings a faith-informed perspective and long experience helping people who are feeling stuck or unsure about their next step. She focuses on practical conversation and steady support so clients can begin to feel more confident and capable.

She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self esteem. She also helps with life transitions like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, and midlife reevaluation. Additional areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, workplace challenges, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

In sessions she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors discussions and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Conversations aim to clarify goals, name obstacles, and identify small, doable steps forward.

Her style is practical and encouraging. She supports people who want more confidence, clearer boundaries, or a better sense of purpose. Many clients work on self-love, handling social anxiety, and rebuilding after trauma.

Clients who choose her can expect steady guidance and a focus on real-life changes. She invites people to take the first steps toward growth and offers ongoing support as those steps are taken.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on identifying current challenges and building new skills to manage them. For example, approaches that focus on coping skills teach practical ways to handle anxiety, social fears, and stress. These methods help people break down worries into manageable steps and practice new responses.

Another common approach concentrates on processing trauma and its effects in manageable pieces. This kind of work helps people make sense of painful events, reduce their hold on daily life, and rebuild a sense of safety and control over reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and values. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and needs.
