Hello, my name is Katie Kaufman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I offer therapy and coaching services to young adults and adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, ADD & ADHD, stress, work/career, self-love, self-esteem, life purpose and meaning, life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, and more. I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for young adults and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and purpose, social pressures, school/work/career, and relationships.
This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and life challenges and to build a lifelong toolkit with skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style is warm, inviting, accepting, calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment, but rather with sincere compassion and understanding.

I utilize various treatment and therapeutic modalities depending on each client's unique needs and preferences, and most frequently use CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) as these modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.
