About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and a wide range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she works with concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, intimacy issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Katrina brings attention to more specific areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication and control problems.

Her approach emphasizes listening first and tailoring care to each person's current needs. Katrina blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and skills-based methods drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are also part of her toolbox, used to help clients identify goals and take practical steps toward change. She aims to meet clients where they are and to collaborate on realistic strategies that improve daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Practicing in Oklahoma, Katrina welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and greets each person with openness and respect. She encourages those prepared to tackle difficult issues to reach out and begin a process of steady, goal-oriented work toward greater balance and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katrina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and emotional reactions. She also applies client-centered principles, offering attentive listening and empathy to help people explore their goals and feel heard while they consider change. When skills training is useful, she draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katrina works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts interventions accordingly, adjusting methods as progress is made or circumstances shift. This collaborative stance helps ensure that treatment stays focused and meaningful for the individual.

Online therapy gives the flexibility to connect in ways that suit a client's lifestyle, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or transportation are challenging.
