How Katrina works
Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what a person can try between meetings. Katrina explains ideas plainly and checks in about whether an approach is working.
With six years of experience as an AL LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - she brings experience while keeping sessions accessible. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide progress rather than relying on jargon. People who come for help can expect a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Katrina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she draws on is behaviorally focused work that helps people notice patterns, test small behavioral changes, and build new habits to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on processing emotions like guilt and shame through reflective exercises and structured conversations that aim to shift self-critical thinking and increase self-compassion.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katrina works collaboratively to identify which techniques fit each person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow visual communication and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent check-ins when that fits a schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping focus on meaningful progress.
