Gottman-informed care and online sessions
Katrina uses the Gottman Method in her work, which focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and teaching skills couples and individuals can use to manage conflict. The method breaks down interactions into practical steps so people can practice new ways of relating and reduce repeated arguments.She also emphasizes identifying strengths and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. This approach helps when anxiety, low self-esteem, or stress around life changes get in the way of daily functioning. Katrina will talk with each person about which techniques seem most useful and tailor the work to their situation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out the best fit based on goals, preferences, and what feels realistic for day-to-day life. Clients and therapist decide together how to blend communication skill work, coping strategies, and practical exercises.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue steady progress while adapting homework and tools to each person's routine.
