Background and approach
She trained at Aurora University and has worked across hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment settings, and court and jail environments, bringing a wide range of settings experience to her therapeutic work.

Her style centers on tailoring interventions to each individual’s goals while prioritizing a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes increasing self-awareness as a path to growth and often combines goal-oriented methods with attentive listening to help clients move through feeling stuck.

Katrina welcomes clients seeking a steady, experienced therapist to support them through change and healing.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a structured, skills-based method Katrina uses to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical coping strategies and measurable steps toward improvement.Alongside CBT, her practice emphasizes building self-awareness and exploring relational patterns that contribute to distress. This approach helps clients understand how past experiences and current habits influence their emotions and relationships, which can be useful for issues like grief, intimacy-related struggles, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Katrina works with clients to align techniques with their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. She emphasizes partnership in identifying what feels most helpful for each person.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and health needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in regular skill-building without needing to travel to an office.
