About Katrina

Katrina Spohn is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. She uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help clients feel steadier and more able to handle everyday demands.

Background and approach

Katrina writes in a warm, direct way and seeks to meet people where they are without judgment. She brings about 10 years of professional experience in community mental health settings.

That work included supporting people through trauma and abuse and offering services during the COVID-19 pandemic that led her to embrace online therapy. Katrina listens closely to each person’s story and then shapes conversations and plans to fit individual needs.

Her clinical approach blends practical skills with attention to emotions and relationships. She integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and emotion-focused work to strengthen emotional understanding.

The Gottman Method also appears in her practice to help with communication and connection when relationship issues are present. Katrina also uses attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to build trust and a respectful therapeutic partnership.

She emphasizes curiosity about how past relationships affect present reactions and helps people notice patterns that hold them back. Sessions aim to be collaborative, clear, and goal-directed.

She provides therapy in English and offers a range of online formats. Katrina recognizes starting therapy takes courage and focuses on making the first steps manageable, practical, and tailored to each person’s schedule and priorities.

How her approaches work online

Katrina uses a mix of relational and skill-based methods. The Gottman Method focuses on practical communication habits and conflict management that can reduce repeated arguments and improve connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people change patterns that cause distance or reactivity.

She also uses client-centered methods that center the person’s experience and preferences. That means goals and techniques are set together, and sessions adjust as needs change. She will help clients choose which approach or combination fits their goals and comfort level through ongoing conversation and shared decision making.

Online therapy with Katrina offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let people work face-to-face when discussion and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a calmer audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, coping reminders, or scheduling easier and fit busy days. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
