About Catrina
She believes each person knows their story best and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on what already works in a person’s life. The goal is to help clients find steady ways to cope and move forward.
Catrina uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. That can include client-centered work that follows a person’s pace, cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are added when they fit.
In session she concentrates on clear goals and useful tools. That might mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, working through grief in small steps, or developing routines to support mood stability. She also helps people sort through relationship and family-origin issues that affect their day-to-day life.
Her background includes work with first responders and caregivers, and experience addressing domestic violence, substance use, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Catrina values steady progress over quick fixes and helps people build skills they can use after therapy ends.

How these approaches can work online
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thinking patterns that lead to distress and try different behaviors to change outcomes. It is often used for mood concerns, addiction triggers, and practical problem solving.Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools are useful when emotions feel intense or when someone wants better ways to handle relationship stress.
Client-centered therapy keeps the person’s goals and pace at the center of sessions. The therapist follows the client’s lead while offering reflection and support to help uncover strengths and next steps.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods as work progresses. That shared planning helps shape clear, realistic goals.
