About Hattie
Hattie McNutt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Hattie also addresses issues tied to guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, and the strain caregivers face.
Hattie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name and understand painful feelings. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps for communication, emotion regulation, and recognizing patterns that keep someone stuck. She pays attention to how culture and experiences of prejudice or discrimination affect emotional life.
People meet to talk through recent events and older hurts. Hattie helps clients examine beliefs that feed shame or guilt and practices ways to shift those beliefs over time. Work can include building stronger social skills, managing panic or social anxiety, and sorting relationship changes such as separation or divorce.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward skills and reflective conversation. That can mean rehearsing difficult conversations, learning breathing and grounding techniques for panic, or mapping attachment patterns that repeat in relationships. Hattie also supports people facing questions about life purpose, body image, and forgiveness.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Hattie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common symptoms and relationship patterns. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts against real-world evidence to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. This method helps with panic symptoms, social anxiety, and persistent self-criticism.Another strand of her work looks at attachment patterns and relational behaviors. That approach helps people notice how early relationship experiences influence current connections, communication problems, and reactions to abandonment or loss.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hattie will work with each person to match methods to their presenting concerns, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises based on what a person finds useful and tolerable.

Others prefer a shorter check-in when time is limited or options that do not require being on camera. Hattie helps plan a practical format that fits daily life during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
