How CBT and online sessions work together
Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into manageable steps and teaches practical tools for anxiety, panic, depression, anger, and mood challenges. This approach often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Choosing the right method is a joint process. Katrina works with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative decision-making helps people find what fits their life and keeps the work relevant. Online formats make it easier to add therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be used for focused check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter updates, quick coping reminders, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.Questions people ask about Katrina
