Background and approach

Then she supports them in taking steps that match what matters most to them. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered care. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find reasons to change.

Katrina adapts methods to the needs of the person in front of her, rather than using one fixed plan. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where honest conversations are welcome. Katrina values trust and tries to create an environment where people can name painful feelings and test out new behaviors.

She also pays attention to life circumstances that can make change harder. She has worked with a range of concerns including attachment and abandonment worries, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Those experiences shape how she supports people through both small shifts and bigger transitions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. Online ACT sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing simple exercises, and planning small actions to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and role practice adapted to phone or video formats. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons experience and uses empathic listening to help people explore concerns at their own pace. In online sessions this can feel like a steady, supportive space to talk things through and test new ideas.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then suggest techniques to try. She treats this as a collaboration - methods are adjusted based on what helps most in real life rather than following a rigid plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it around family, work, and other commitments.
