About Katrina

Katrina Covington is a licensed counselor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, and anger.

Background and approach

She brings five years of professional experience and holds credentials as an LCMHC and an LCPC, licensed in North Carolina and Illinois. Katrina’s background includes focused work with veteran and armed forces issues, and she draws on evidence-based practices to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Her practice emphasizes a tailored, client-centered approach that starts with listening to each person’s story and priorities. Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation and integrates trauma-focused techniques to help people process difficult memories and change unhelpful patterns.

She frames therapy as a collaborative effort, helping clients set realistic goals and learn skills that apply to day-to-day life. Katrina offers care through online formats and adapts methods to each client’s needs, aiming to create a respectful, solution-oriented space for change.

Her combination of clinical training, focused approaches, and experience with veteran-related matters informs a practical, skill-building style intended to help clients manage symptoms and move toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice; this method is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing emotional impact by using structured techniques that aim to increase safety and coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different methods to create a personalized plan that fits the situation and pace of change the client prefers.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in therapy from varied locations. These formats can support continuity of care and make it easier to practice skills between sessions while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
