KM Portrait of Katlyn Maves

Katlyn Maves, LMFT

Practical, approachable therapy for life and relationships

About Katlyn

Katlyn Maves is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and life transitions. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, intimacy concerns, and stress from caregiving or workplace strain.

Background and approach

Katlyn uses a straightforward, down-to-earth style and aims to make sessions feel like a practical conversation about real problems. She favors approaches that help people rewrite difficult stories and find small, workable changes.

Narrative Therapy is used to separate a person from a problem and to look at identity and values in new ways. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify concrete steps and strengths to move forward quickly.

Katlyn’s practice pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges around polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. She also addresses parenting strain, divorce and separation, and communication problems.

These topics are treated with direct, practical conversation rather than abstract theory. With four years of clinical experience, Katlyn works from Florida as an LMFT.

She offers sessions in English and supports people facing multicultural questions, women’s issues, career confusion, and compassion fatigue. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and steady, manageable progress.

People who choose her describe an easygoing, approachable tone and a focus on tangible change. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build simple skills, and reduce daily stress so clients can handle what matters most.

How her approaches translate to online care

Katlyn uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems by telling and retelling their life stories. This can be useful when sorting out identity questions, family of origin issues, and concerns about gender or sexuality. Solution-Focused Therapy is about identifying what already works and building practical steps from there, which is helpful for anxiety, parenting challenges, and stress at work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
