About Jorie

Jorie Wehrell is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who blends cognitive behavioral ideas with relational and client-centered perspectives to help clients clarify goals and develop practical coping skills.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience across settings such as therapeutic group homes, juvenile justice, community mental health, and independent practice, she draws on a wide base of hands-on work with individuals and families. She views therapy as a collaborative process in which a trusting relationship supports exploration of personal narratives, past patterns, and present challenges.

Jorie helps clients examine how their experiences shape beliefs and behavior, then works with them to try new responses and build strategies to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, addictions, and other life transitions.

She also addresses a range of related concerns including attachment issues, communication problems, fertility and postpartum questions, and women’s issues. Practicing in Washington, Jorie applies an active, client-centered approach that often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-informed and emotionally-focused methods.

Her style emphasizes practical goal setting, skill-building, and compassionate support as clients work toward clearer functioning and improved relationships.

Integrating relational and cognitive approaches online

Jorie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to explore how early and current relationships shape expectations, communication patterns, and emotional responses, which can be useful for addressing relationship and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to their goals and preferences. Together they clarify objectives, try different strategies, and adjust the focus over time to find what best supports progress and resilience.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to engage. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who emphasize practical skills and relational understanding.
