She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions.

Her approach centers on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what they are feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Katrina listens for patterns and works with each person to set realistic goals and small changes that fit daily life.

She brings eight years of hands-on clinical work to each session and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Katrina emphasizes clear communication and shared decision-making about the work. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable pieces and track progress over time.

People who come for help with grief, parenting stress, career questions, or mood disorders find focused support aimed at improving everyday functioning. Katrina also addresses complex issues such as compulsions, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress with patience and practical strategies.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Many clinicians draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide their work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and replacing them with practical alternatives to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. This kind of work is useful for worries, panic, low mood, and motivation problems.

Another helpful method targets habits around food, body image, and compulsive behaviors by breaking those patterns into small steps. It emphasizes concrete strategies such as daily routines, coping tools, and gradual behavior changes to lessen distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and recommend options that fit. Decisions about which techniques to try are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone formats that suit their bandwidth and comfort, so therapy can be folded into everyday life more easily.
