About Catrina
Catrina Horn is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people through addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. She holds an MS and the LCSW credential and practices in Tennessee. She approaches work with respect for each person’s story and strengths.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals. Sessions focus on building skills to manage strong emotions, reduce harmful behaviors, and cope with loss or change.
Background and approach
Catrina uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean using thought-focused tools to shift unhelpful patterns, teaching skills for managing intense feelings, or helping people reframe painful experiences into a clearer story. She keeps explanations plain and steps concrete.
She often helps people facing relationship stress from attachment wounds, blended family challenges, or communication problems. She also works with concerns tied to caregiving stress, first responder experiences, and substance misuse. Coping after disaster, divorce, or other sudden change is part of her practice.
Her approach recognizes setbacks as part of progress. She supports clients in finding strengths they may not see and in building routines that reduce relapse and overwhelm. For someone looking for steady, practical guidance, she offers a calm and direct presence in sessions.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on treating people as the experts in their own lives. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs validation and support as they make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety. CBT is often chosen for mood disorders, addiction-related patterns, and coping with difficult life events.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes strategies for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can help people prone to crisis or self-harming behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to choose tools that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy here can be delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skill demonstration. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions and use written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
