About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington with 14 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and a broad range of issues including parenting, mood concerns, and attachment-related patterns.
She started in social services and has worked in group homes, juvenile justice, community mental health, and private practice. That variety informs how she notices patterns people bring from earlier family life and how those patterns affect current relationships. She looks at how a person's story about themselves and their family shapes choices now.
In sessions she helps people name recurring patterns and practical habits that keep problems going. She uses focused strategies to set clear goals and to build skills for coping and communication. She also pays attention to how past relationships influence present reactions and expectations.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She combines interpersonal ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques to create short-term, goal-focused plans. She also draws on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas when looking at relationship and family patterns.
Jorie holds a BA in Psychology, an MA in Child, Couple, and Family Therapy, and an MBA in Healthcare Management. She practices in Washington as a WA LMFT and offers services in English. If family of origin patterns still influence daily life, she works to make those patterns clearer and more manageable.
How her therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds. It helps people see how early connection styles influence current reactions and closeness in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and uses careful listening to help them clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and builds specific skills for changing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring. Together you decide which combination of approaches fits best and adjust methods as needed over time.
