About Katlyn

Katlyn Maves is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She lists young adult issues among her focus areas and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and changes in life circumstances.

Katlyn uses narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy in sessions. She helps people talk through relationship concerns, parenting questions, family conflicts, and identity or sexuality matters. She also supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, career stress, and feelings of being stuck after school or during early adulthood transitions.

Her approach is down-to-earth and straightforward. Sessions typically center on what feels most urgent to the client, with practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and finds different ways to frame problems. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, realistic changes that move a person toward their goals.

Katlyn also notes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns. She lists experience with gender dysphoria, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and intimacy-related issues among her topics of interest.

Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from her Florida practice. She does not accept international clients. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site button to see online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How narrative and solution-focused work translates to online sessions

Katlyn works with narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy in ways that suit online meetings. Narrative therapy involves looking at the stories a person tells about themselves and finding alternate ways to describe problems. This can help with identity questions, gender dysphoria concerns, and the sense of being stuck during early adulthood.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and identifying what already works. It is useful for stress, relationship troubles, career shifts, and short-term goals young adults often bring. Both approaches aim to produce actions a person can try between sessions and then review together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether narrative techniques, solution-focused tasks, or a mix best fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. If you prefer shorter focused meetings or a regular weekly slot, discuss those preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
