Background and approach

Sessions center on building strengths and resources people already have, and planning small, doable steps that add up over time. Katrina draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment concepts to help people live more in line with their values.

Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods shape how she listens and supports commitment to change. She has worked with people facing attachment and abandonment wounds, control issues, divorce and separation, and the shame that comes with guilt. Katrina also helps those coping with loneliness, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia.

Her style is warm and receptive. She aims to create a trusting space where clients can speak honestly and try new approaches. Katrina encourages steady, realistic progress and partners with people as they refine goals and take action toward a better day-to-day life.

How Katrina's Approaches Work Online

Katrina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears.

She takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. Early sessions focus on understanding your goals and testing what helps. Katrina will discuss options and tailor techniques to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and real-time feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates, practice skills between sessions, and stay connected without scheduling a full call. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, parenting, or other daily routines.
