Katrina Holt, LCSW

Katrina Holt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing grief, anger, career uncertainty, and major life changes. She draws on five years as an LCSW to offer steady, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Katrina aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

In sessions she focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Katrina addresses compassion fatigue and the strain that comes from caregiving or chronic health challenges. She also helps people sort through communication problems, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Her work includes practical conversations about coping strategies for chronic pain, illness, or disability and support around postpartum depression, divorce, or separation. Katrina listens for the specific stresses you bring and helps identify small, realistic steps forward. She also attends to emotions like guilt, shame, and anger so they do not derail daily life.

She brings straightforward guidance for issues such as smoking or vaping cessation, impulsivity, and self-harm thoughts, always matching pace to what the person can manage. Katrina also recognizes multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on well-being.

Approaches that support coping and life transitions

Many of the techniques Katrina uses are evidence-based and focus on real-world coping. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for managing strong emotions like anger and grief; this involves practicing new reactions, trying safety strategies, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes to ease symptoms of chronic pain or fatigue, using gradual activity planning and simple habit shifts to improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katrina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That collaborative process guides which techniques are tried and how they are adapted over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone join without travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between in-person visits and to make regular appointments more practical for everyday life.
