How evidence-based methods shape online sessions
Many of Katrina's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills. Cognitive-style approaches help identify and reframe anxious or self-critical thoughts so clients can respond differently to stress. Behavioral strategies focus on small, practical actions to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in daily life.She also draws on approaches that address emotions and past experiences to reduce guilt and shame. These methods look at how past patterns influence current relationships and self-view, and then practice new ways of responding. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to try based on the client's goals and preferences.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Katrina works collaboratively to test approaches and adjust them over time, checking what works and what needs changing. That helps make sessions purposeful and relevant to each person's situation.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without travel. It can also allow people to continue regular appointments when schedules or routines change.
