About Kathy
Dr. Kathy Greathouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She blends talk therapy with movement and breath practices when appropriate. Her work emphasizes helping people find better sleep, manage stress, and move past painful life events.
Her sessions combine modern therapeutic ideas with yogic practices such as breathwork and meditation when those fit a person's needs. She uses narrative and attachment-based approaches to help people make sense of their stories and relationships. Mindfulness practices are woven into the work to help reduce anxiety and improve self-awareness.
Kathy aims to tailor sessions to each person. Expect discussions about daily routines, thoughts, and relationships, paired with practical breathing or relaxation exercises when helpful. She focuses on building coping skills people can use between meetings.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals and Kathy offers tools and reflections toward those goals. The tone she aims for is encouraging and steady, with attention to each person’s unique situation.
Beyond sleep and stress concerns, she helps with grief, addiction, depression, and relationship struggles among many other issues. Her background brings together psychotherapy and somatic practices so people can address emotions held in the body as well as in thought.
People seeking assistance should be prepared to talk about patterns in their daily life and try simple practices outside sessions. This approach is meant to support gradual change and clearer routines that can help with rest and overall wellbeing.
How her approaches guide online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It can help people pinpoint why they feel unsafe, alone, or reactive in relationships and learn different ways to relate.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering listening and reflection rather than direction. This approach suits people who want a collaborative space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. These exercises can be short and practical, and they are easy to try between sessions to support rest and regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
