How sessions work
CBT and practical approaches for online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thinking and to build small, learnable changes. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression, and mood regulation.Katrina pairs behavioral strategies with focused problem-solving. That looks like setting short-term goals, trying experiments between sessions, and tracking what changes. These methods are useful for stress, caregiver strain, communication problems, and relationship-related patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision considers symptoms, daily demands, and what the person wants to gain from sessions.
