Kate (Katie) McBrayer

Looking for ways to build deeper, healthier relationships? Dallas therapist Katie McBrayer, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-Associate), offers couples counseling for pre-engaged, premarital, and newly married couples to foster strong foundations through improved communication, emotional connection, and effective conflict resolution. Her skills are also ideal for couples who have been married for a while but have lost their gusto or want to fine-tune the ways they connect.  

In addition, she works with individuals and/or couples who are looking for support and guidance in building better parenting skills, helping them navigate challenges and strengthen their family dynamics.  

Katie works with individuals who are feeling stuck or unmotivated, helping them explore the underlying patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that can foster personal growth and a stronger sense of identity.

Whether you're seeking to strengthen your relationship, develop a clearer sense of self, or parent more mindfully, she offers a collaborative and compassionate space to explore and grow.

Katie received her Bachelors in Sociology from Baylor University and earned her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Southern Methodist University. She is trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2), Prepare/Enrich, and Safe Conversations—tools that help deepen emotional intimacy and resolve recurring relationship patterns. She also uses evidence-based methods, including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and attachment theory. 

She believes healing and connection happen when we feel seen, safe, and understood—and she is honored to walk alongside clients in that journey.

Katie spends her free time cooking, traveling, hiking with her dog, Finn, biking, enjoying time with her family and soaking up a sunset.

Katie is currently booking sessions for new clients and couples. Reach out and request an appointment today!
