Kathie Land , LMHC

Kathie Land is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience focused on supporting young people and adults facing mental health and substance use challenges. In her current role at Truecore Behavioral Solutions she works closely with youth involved in the juvenile justice system, completing biopsychosocial assessments, developing treatment and safety plans, and leading both individual and group therapy sessions.

Previously, she served as a Mental Health Counselor at Westcare where she provided comprehensive care for clients managing mental health conditions and addiction. Her professional background includes strengths in assessment, treatment planning, and a range of therapeutic interventions, alongside responsibilities for clinical documentation, billing, and emergency screening. Kathie has also volunteered with Crisis Text Line, delivering essential support to individuals in acute need.

Known for a compassionate, validating approach, she emphasizes empathy and personalized care while drawing on evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Her additional focus areas include chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, communication difficulties, coping after disasters, impulsivity, life purpose, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, and self-love. Kathie is committed to helping people navigate challenges and move toward greater mental well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kathie blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values, feelings, and goals - a helpful approach for building self-esteem, processing grief, and finding life purpose. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete tools for day-to-day coping.

She also uses motivational interviewing when working on substance use and behavior change, guiding clients through ambivalence by highlighting personal motivations and practical next steps. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Kathie works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Kathie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not possible.
