About Catrina
She centers work on the client’s experience and sees the person as the expert in their own story. Sessions emphasize identifying strengths, building coping skills, and creating steady routines that reduce overwhelm. Catrina combines direct problem-solving with space to make meaning from hard experiences.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by loss and complicated grief, plus experience supporting those with substance use concerns and mood instability. She also helps people manage caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment wounds, and the fallout from relationship separation.
In session she uses techniques from client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when helpful. Mindfulness and narrative work are also part of her toolkit to help people stay present and reframe difficult life stories.
People who connect well with Catrina often want practical coping tools, clear communication skills, and a therapist who respects their pace. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on listening, empathy, and goals the client sets. This helps when someone needs a therapist who follows their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful habits; it is useful for mood challenges, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying a skills-based plan for a few sessions or using narrative work to reframe a painful story. The choice is practical and revisited as progress is tracked.
Confirm the available online session options before booking because this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can let people join from wherever they are that offers quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques effectively in remote appointments, focusing on tools and strategies that transfer into everyday routines.
