About Katarina
Katarina Tarbill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, and handle career and life transitions. Katarina writes and speaks plainly so busy parents can understand what to expect from sessions.
She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or depleted by caregiving or work demands.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on small, doable changes that reduce daily pressure and increase calm. Katarina pays attention to how life events like immigration or military transitions affect mood and purpose. In the room she aims to create a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Conversations are direct and supportive, with time spent listening and time spent practicing new ways of coping. She encourages clients to try tools between sessions and bring back what worked and what did not. Katarina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
She helps people set clear goals and measures progress in practical terms, such as improved sleep, fewer intrusive worries, or clearer next steps at work. Clients work together with her to find strategies that fit their life and schedule. Katarina reminds people that taking the first step requires courage and that asking for help is a practical move toward feeling better.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two evidence-based techniques she uses are problem-focused coping and skills rehearsal. Problem-focused coping helps identify specific stressors and break them into manageable steps, which is useful for workplace stress, career decisions, and daily pressure. Skills rehearsal involves practicing calming strategies and behavioral changes during and between sessions to reduce anxiety and build confidence.Another common technique is compassion fatigue support, which centers on recognizing burnout signs and building routines that restore energy. This work often includes pacing, boundary-setting, and practical self-care tasks to lessen emotional exhaustion and improve functioning at work and home.
Choosing 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 review progress together and pick strategies that fit the client's needs and lifestyle.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or when travel is difficult, while keeping continuity of care.
