Evidence-Informed Therapies Delivered Online

Katrina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so that clients feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to support ambivalence and encourage meaningful change by building intrinsic motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katrina works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session focus and practical homework so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats allow continuation of care when in-person meetings are difficult and make it easier to access a licensed professional from different locations within the clinician's service area.
