About Pamela
Pamela Katra is a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and changes in life circumstances, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She often helps people who are navigating caregiving roles, pregnancy and childbirth stress, cancer-related concerns, or the strain of chronic life change. Pamela also supports clients dealing with relationship or communication problems, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Pamela uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to help people improve communication and address intimacy-related concerns. She also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people notice patterns, reframe difficult stories, and practice calming skills in daily life.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills as well as emotional processing. That can include practicing better ways to say what matters, working through painful memories at a comfortable pace, and trying brief mindfulness exercises to reduce immediate distress.
People who work with her can expect collaboration about goals and priorities. Pamela emphasizes clear steps people can try between sessions, along with reflection on what is and isn’t working. She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients.
How Pamela’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s priorities, helping with communication skills and immediate concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and emotions. It can help people understand attachment needs and improve how they express feelings to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Pamela will help decide which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and she adjusts plans as progress is reviewed.
