About Katrina

Katrina Brown is a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Texas who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She meets people where they are and helps them sort through stress, relationship strains, parenting questions, and life changes. Katrina uses clear, practical steps in conversations so parents and caregivers can try different ways of communicating at home.

She listens closely and asks focused questions to help people identify what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She trained at the University of Missouri-Columbia, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree, and completed a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Katrina holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT - and has eight years of professional experience working with individuals dealing with relationship conflicts, work stress, and family issues.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns that get in the way and then tests new ways of responding. She draws attention to strengths and practical tools rather than only talking about problems. That approach makes changes feel manageable for busy families.

Katrina also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, anger, intimacy-related worries, and challenges such as blended family dynamics or divorce and separation. She works with issues related to career, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue as part of broader life stress. Her style is direct but warm.

Parents and caregivers often find her approach useful when they need clear steps, thoughtful feedback, and a partner in figuring out next moves.

Online approaches that support families and parenting

Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships. It uses specific exercises and simple skills to reduce conflict, improve listening, and help partners connect on day-to-day issues. This approach can be useful for couples and caregivers who want practical tools to handle recurring arguments and repair moments of disconnection.

Katrina pairs these structured techniques with straightforward conversations that help families spot patterns and try small changes. She treats finding the right approach as a shared process and will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques fit the family's needs and what to try between sessions.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy parents. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities. Many clients find the combination of structured tools and convenient session types helps them practice new skills more consistently.
