Online Cognitive and Trauma-Informed Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them; it is frequently used for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the impacts of traumatic experiences through techniques that help process memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms, often supporting safety and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Katrina works with clients to evaluate their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring so together they can determine whether CBT, trauma-focused work, or a blended method will be most useful for the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and options that suit different communication styles and life rhythms.
