Katrina has experience helping clients manage career stress, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
In session she listens for what feels most important to each person and prioritizes straightforward techniques that can be used right away. She aims to increase self-awareness and give tools for coping with life changes. When needed, she helps people weigh options and rehearse different ways of responding to difficult situations.
People who reach out should expect a practical, goal-focused relationship. Katrina has worked across many care settings and draws on that range to adapt interventions to each person’s circumstances. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.

How CBT informs online work and practical benefits
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It often involves tracking patterns, trying short experiments between sessions, and learning skills for managing anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress.When trauma or grief are in focus, sessions use structured discussion and coping strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve daily functioning. Those approaches aim to help people manage symptoms and make specific changes that matter to their lives.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan based on what helps most after a few sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the current session options during the matching step so arrangements fit into everyday life.
