How trauma-informed care and practical techniques work online
Katrina uses trauma-informed care to help people feel seen and understood while addressing the impact of past hurt. This approach focuses on safety, pacing, and honoring a person’s experience so healing can proceed without overwhelm.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target symptoms and behaviors. These methods teach concrete coping skills for anxiety, panic attacks, and social fears, and they help reshape unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-talk.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Katrina collaborates with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on goals, comfort, and what feels most useful. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between live sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments.
