About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and a range of mood and intimacy-related issues.
She began in social services, including therapeutic group homes and juvenile justice settings, before moving into community mental health and private practice. That experience shaped how she notices patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. She pays attention to how people tell their life stories and how those stories affect feelings and choices.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She works with clients to name repeating patterns, set concrete goals, and try new coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and interpersonal techniques are used to build practical skills and short-term plans.
Jorie also draws on attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotion and bonding in relationships. She helps people recognize how attachment needs and communication habits can keep problems going, and then practice different ways of responding.
Clients can expect active, goal-focused sessions that balance present problems and past influences. Jorie emphasizes clear steps, regular check-ins on progress, and practical tools people can use between sessions. She offers services in English and accepts international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and reshaping strong emotions and interaction patterns in relationships. It can help when attachment needs and intense feelings keep repeating between partners or within family roles.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding and family stories shape current responses. This helps people see why they react a certain way and try different, more helpful responses in close relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skills and short-term goals. It targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or problematic habits and gives clear steps to change them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to use based on current needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine emotion-focused work, attachment perspectives, and CBT skill-building as appropriate.
