Evidence-based techniques and online care
Many of Katrina's methods draw on trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on safety, skill building, and symptom reduction. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process past stressful events and reduce their impact on daily life; this often involves grounding and pacing strategies to manage strong reactions. Another frequent element is skills-based anxiety work, which includes practical breathing and behavioral exercises to reduce panic symptoms and improve coping in the moment.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Katrina works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. The therapist emphasizes partnership and regular check-ins to make sure techniques feel useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when schedules change. It also lets people try shorter check-ins or conversations without needing to be on camera, depending on the formats offered. Discussing practical needs during the matching process will help decide what will work best for ongoing therapy.
