About Katrina
Katrina Covington is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical help for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She uses clear, relatable language and straightforward tools to address problems like depression, anger, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Katrina draws on five years of clinical experience and holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials.
She has worked in both military and civilian settings and understands how life transitions and role demands can increase pressure at home.
Background and approach
Her background gives her a practical sense of what daily family life can look like under strain. Sessions move at a steady, solution-oriented pace. Katrina often starts by identifying a small, manageable goal.
Then she teaches specific skills to change thinking and behavior, and she practices those skills in real-life situations. Parents can expect clear steps they can try between sessions. Trauma-focused work is offered when people bring painful memories or past abuse into therapy.
Katrina combines trauma-focused approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce upsetting symptoms and increase coping skills. The work is paced to each persons needs. Her style is warm but direct.
She helps parents and adults break large problems into smaller actions. That approach makes progress easier to notice and sustain.

Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Many of Katrinas methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often involves short exercises, homework, and skill practice that fit well into video or phone sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets upsetting memories and their effects on daily life, using structured steps to reduce distress and build coping strategies; these approaches can be adapted to pacing and tools that suit each person.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katrina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together a plan is chosen, and methods are adjusted over time based on how the person responds and what feels manageable.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy parents and adults. Video calls let you use visual cues for skill demonstrations and role-plays. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, skill coaching, or when written reflection feels helpful. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines while keeping the focus on clear, actionable progress.
