About Jorie

Jorie Wehrell is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people make sense of their stories and find workable changes. Jorie aims to create a calm, collaborative space for people to talk through stress, relationships, parenting, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Her work draws on Narrative Therapy to look at how personal stories shape feelings and actions. She combines that with attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to pay attention to relationships and strengths.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when clients want practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Clients often come with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, intimacy or communication problems, and challenges tied to parenting or blended families. Jorie also supports people dealing with fertility or postpartum matters, mood disorders like bipolar, and issues around identity including LGBT concerns.

She has worked across many settings including group homes, juvenile justice, community mental health, and independent practice. That variety has shaped a flexible approach that matches the needs of the person in front of her. Jorie emphasizes setting clear goals and using time-limited strategies when helpful.

Jorie holds a BA in Psychology, a MA in Child, Couple, Family Therapy, and an MBA in Healthcare Management. She practices as a Washington LMFT and offers sessions in English, including support for international clients.

Online session options

Narrative and Attachment Approaches in Online Therapy

Jorie commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and reframe the stories that shape daily life. This approach looks at how experiences and labels influence behavior and helps people identify alternate, more helpful narratives.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and communication. That work can help with intimacy issues, parenting strains, and family-of-origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made to keep the work practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
