Warmth and Light Counseling

Individual Therapy, Couple’s Therapy, and Christian Counseling

Helping clients learn how to heal from old relationship patterns and create security and intimacy in their relationships

A virtual private practice located in Sacramento, California

Hi! I’m Katie, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in individual relationship therapy, couple’s therapy, and Christian counseling. I help my clients heal after being impacted by things like infidelity, betrayal, toxic relationship patterns, and poor communication. I also help them work through individual hurdles that impact their relationships so they can create the relationships they want, romantic or otherwise (because friendships and family dynamics matter, too!)

Virtual Private Practice

My private practice is virtual, and I love it! Working virtually allows me to see clients all over California. It also provides a lot of flexibility for clients. Virtual therapy is perfect for couples who need to take their appointments from home for childcare reasons (as long as you still have privacy!), or for couples who will be joining the appointment from different locations due to work logistics etc. Or, maybe you’re an individual client who loves the idea of taking your therapy appointment from the comfort of your own space, cozied up in a blanket, iced coffee in hand (me too!)

New to Virtual Therapy?

Just like in-person therapy, virtual therapy has both it’s benefits and limitations. The trick to enjoying virtual therapy and getting the most out of your session is preparation.

Here are some tips to prepare for your virtual session:

  • Make sure you have a safe and private place to meet

  • Check that your wi-fi connection is strong and that your computer or phone you will be using is charged

  • Grab some headphones for extra privacy, especially if you are in a home or building with others in nearby rooms/hallways

  • Get comfortable!! A huge benefit to virtual therapy is you can take your session from a comfy and familiar place. Grab a blanket, your favorite beverage, some grounding items, even a snack if you’d like!
