About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, addictions, grief, trauma and a range of other life changes. Katrina writes plainly and prefers to work with adults who are ready to address difficult issues that affect daily life.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people clarify what is getting in the way. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and small changes you can try between meetings. Katrina describes her approach as open and willing; she encourages clients to bring whatever feels most pressing in their lives.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also integrates cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are available when managing strong emotions or stress.

Katrina has experience across individual adult clients and people facing reentry after incarceration, and she notes an interest in family and parenting matters. She welcomes people of any background, gender, or race and focuses on practical problem solving rather than jargon.

Sessions tend to be direct and goal-focused. She asks clients to try small experiments between sessions and to report back what helped. The emphasis is on making everyday life a little easier, one step at a time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience in simple, nonjudgmental conversation. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide the next practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches ways to try different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that involve unhelpful thoughts.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using client-centered listening at first, then adding CBT tools or dialectical behavior skills as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten routine check-ins, and avoid travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only when needed, or keep sessions brief during a work break. Licensed professionals vary in how they offer services, and Katrina will discuss the practical details when you start.
