About Katrina
Her work is collaborative. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that cause pain. From there she offers simple tools to manage difficult feelings and to change unhelpful habits. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on steps that matter in daily life.
Katrina draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy to shift thinking patterns, mindfulness to manage strong emotions, and narrative therapy to make sense of life events. She adapts these approaches to each person’s needs and pace rather than using a single fixed method.
Over ten years in practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, depression, coping with chronic illness or cancer, caregiving stress, and substance concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, and body image issues.
People meet her in California. She offers sessions in English and works with adults on individual concerns like grief, change, and ongoing health challenges. To start, prospective clientscomplete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her methods fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to talk through grief, stress, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. It can be useful for changing patterns that make daily life harder and for building practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so they match your routine. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, cut out travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm which formats the therapist currently offers when you schedule so you know what to expect.
