About Katlyn
Katlyn Maves is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who focuses on parenting and related family concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and down to earth for busy caregivers. Katlyn uses narrative therapy to help people retell stressful or painful life stories so those events no longer define them.
She also uses solution-focused therapy to build on small, practical steps that lead to change.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented rather than long lectures. Parents who are facing blended family challenges, adoption or foster care questions, divorce transitions, or caregiver stress will find concrete tools to manage day-to-day problems. Katlyn also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy or sexuality concerns, and workplace stress.
She addresses multicultural and gender identity topics, including gender dysphoria and LGBT issues. In sessions she listens for strengths, asks about what has worked before, and coaches toward achievable next steps. Conversations often include communication practice, setting boundaries, and quick strategies to ease overwhelm.
The focus is on what can change now and how to try it between meetings. Katlyn has four years of clinical experience and holds an FL LMFT credential. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in Florida through a range of online formats.

Approaches Katlyn lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How narrative and solution-focused work online
Katlyn uses narrative therapy to help clients reframe difficult events and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach can help with identity questions, parenting struggles, and processing past hurts by creating new, more helpful meanings.She also uses solution-focused therapy which narrows in on small, practical steps that make a measurable difference. That method is useful for parents who want quick tools to manage stress, improve communication, or try new routines at home.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that match needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and role-play, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat fit shorter check-ins or times when typing is easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit around work, childcare, and busy days.
