About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Washington with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships, including anger and stress management. Jorie aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people who need clearer patterns and better tools.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current reactions. That helps when emotions feel out of control or old habits keep repeating.
Background and approach
Jorie also uses client-centered listening to make room for each person's story and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, shows up in sessions as goal-focused work. She helps people set small, measurable steps and practices to change thoughts and behaviors.
Emotion-focused pieces are used when feelings need naming and processing before change can happen. Jorie has practiced in a range of settings, from group homes to community mental health and independent practice. Those years gave her experience with many life stages and struggles, like parenting stress, mood disorders, trauma, addictions, and relationship problems.
She often combines approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. In sessions, Jorie keeps the work collaborative and active. She helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track progress toward clear goals.
The aim is to give people tools they can use between sessions to manage anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment and CBT approaches for online support
Jorie uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps people who get stuck in repeating patterns feel seen and understand why they react the way they do. It can be useful for anger, intimacy issues, and family-of-origin concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to turn big problems into small, manageable steps. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger outbursts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on goals and comfort. That collaborative process can shift as needs change over time, with Jorie checking in and adjusting strategies to match progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and body language, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life transitions and busy weeks.
