Rev. Kathey Wilborn, LCSW

Rev. Kathey Wilborn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 34 years of experience practicing in California. She brings a background that includes Christian counseling and long-term clinical work. Kathey focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and low self-esteem.

Her style is respectful and straightforward. She aims to meet people where they are and listens without judgment. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to what feels manageable.

In sessions she helps people talk through life transitions, recover from past hurts, and rebuild confidence. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Midlife questions about purpose and shifting priorities are part of her work as well.

Kathey emphasizes collaborative planning. She and the client set goals and try approaches that fit the client’s daily life. Progress is tracked in simple steps so people can see changes over time.

People can expect a compassionate presence that encourages practical next steps. The aim is to help clients discover clearer choices and to strengthen coping tools for ongoing challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and choosing what fits

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used by experienced clinicians include trauma-informed care and structured problem-solving. Trauma-informed care focuses on recognizing and responding to the effects of trauma, helping people regain a sense of safety and control after difficult experiences. Structured problem-solving breaks larger problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for daily challenges like relationship strain or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment isn’t needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Confirm the specific session formats offered and scheduling details when you complete the intake questionnaire.
