Background and approach
Before becoming a therapist she supported people facing mental health and substance use challenges as a case manager. That experience shaped how she approaches care today. Katiuska favors cognitive behavioral methods that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping habits. She focuses on concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting questions, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy.
She also supports people dealing with career stress, eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT-related stressors. Her style is direct and supportive. Sessions aim to increase insight while teaching skills for daily life.
People who want a structured approach to manage symptoms and build routines may find this helpful.
How evidence-based approaches fit online care
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This approach breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical skills like testing unhelpful thoughts and building new habits, which can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on techniques that teach coping and stabilization skills for strong emotions and stress. These methods focus on breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on how well things are working. Clients help shape the focus of sessions based on what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit short check-ins or allow reflection in writing, and messaging supports ongoing contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
