How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s concerns. The therapist focuses on understanding priorities and shaping sessions around what the person wants to change. This approach helps people feel heard and guides goal setting.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and practice between meetings to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and behavior change.

Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. It offers step-by-step strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.
