About Katrina

Katrina Covington helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and related concerns. She works with issues like depression, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and family tension, grief, and parenting strain. Katrina combines practical methods to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Katrina holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials and brings five years of recent experience to her work. Her background includes time working in a range of therapy settings alongside military and civilian communities as a long-term military spouse. That perspective informs how she listens and responds to life changes and transitions.

Her core approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harms are part of the picture, adapting methods to match each person's needs and pace.

In sessions, Katrina favors straightforward, goal-oriented conversations. She helps people set small, realistic steps and practices they can try between meetings. The focus is on skills that produce visible differences in daily life, like managing intense emotions and reducing worry.

Katrina aims to create a respectful, steady space for working through hard moments. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy prompts to begin the intake and scheduling process.

Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Tools Online

Katrina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties that come from repeated thinking patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects current functioning, helping people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable. Together they decide whether CBT, trauma-focused techniques, or a combination will best meet the client's needs and pace.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using work on real-life tasks between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and exposure work to an online setting while helping clients practice new skills in everyday life.
