About Katrina
Katrina Spohn is an Ohio-based licensed independent social worker (LISW) who focuses on practical support for parents and adults under stress. She helps people untangle relationship strain, manage anxiety, and work through parenting challenges. Katrina writes treatments to match each person's situation and values.
Katrina brings ten years of experience in community mental health settings to her telehealth practice. She found a strong fit with remote care during the COVID-19 pandemic and now regularly uses video and phone sessions alongside messaging options.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, and she understands how past events can affect current relationships and parenting. In sessions she listens with curiosity and respect. Conversations are shaped around what the client needs most, whether that means learning new coping skills, addressing grief, or talking through family problems.
She combines an attachment focus with practical strategies to help people feel more connected and less overwhelmed. Katrina uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide conversations and identify patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on emotionally focused and Gottman-informed ideas when relationship dynamics are a central concern.
This mix is used flexibly to suit each client's goals. Clients can expect straightforward language and a calm, steady presence in sessions. Katrina emphasizes collaborative planning so homework and strategies fit into a busy life.
She encourages small, achievable steps that build toward lasting change.

Approaches that inform online parenting and relationship work
Katrina uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early bonds shape expectations in relationships and parenting. This approach helps when people notice repeating patterns in how they connect, respond to conflict, or react to stress.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. Sessions using this approach focus on building trust, validating feelings, and shaping goals that matter to the client.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and practical parenting challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Katrina collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day realities, and she adjusts the plan as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater scheduling flexibility and fewer hurdles to getting help. Video calls let therapists and clients see nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins or shorter steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life or a hectic work schedule.
