About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who combines practical therapy methods with a collaborative style. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people untangle relationships, mood struggles, and everyday stress. Jorie works with adults facing issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges.
Her work began in varied community settings including therapeutic group homes, juvenile justice, and community mental health. Those roles shaped a down-to-earth approach that focuses on what’s happening now and how past patterns influence current choices.
Background and approach
She listens for personal narratives that guide how someone sees themselves and their relationships. Jorie uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build a working partnership. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to set concrete goals and develop practical coping skills.
Sessions are collaborative and active, with a focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She believes problems often repeat because people try old solutions to new situations. Therapy with her looks at those repeating patterns and finds small, realistic changes that can make daily life easier.
Jorie supports people while they test new strategies and adjust as needed. Based in Washington, Jorie brings experience from both public and independent practice settings. Her background includes work with parental and maternal mental health concerns, and she aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
How Jorie's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In sessions this looks like talking through how people connect, identifying patterns that cause hurt, and practicing different ways of relating to partners or family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try concrete changes. It often includes setting small, measurable goals and testing new behaviors between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques as people try strategies and report what helps or what doesn’t. Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual connection similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when a quieter line or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone prefers written conversations. Together these options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.Questions people ask
