Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Katrina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach involves trauma-informed methods which help people process past hurt and how it affects current behavior and relationships. This approach can be useful for panic, post-traumatic stress, and the aftermath of abuse.Another approach emphasizes practical, skills-based work aimed at anxiety and social fears. That includes learning coping strategies for panic attacks, practicing gradual exposure to feared situations, and rehearsing communication skills for difficult social interactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. Katrina will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that centers on the client’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday life.
