About Katrina
Katrina Covington is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and trauma. She holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. Katrina provides straightforward support for common parenting challenges, grief, anger, relationship tension, and substance-related concerns.
Katrina uses clear, practical techniques in sessions. Her background includes five years as a licensed clinician. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods to help parents and caregivers identify patterns and try new skills.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps parents can use at home. She adapts her style to each family’s needs and prefers short-term, goal-focused work when appropriate. Katrina listens for what is working and what is not, then suggests exercises and small changes to test between sessions.
Progress is tracked through regular check-ins. Katrina also brings experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues when relevant, and she is able to discuss how those stressors affect family life. She keeps explanations in plain language so busy parents can follow guidance easily.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Katrina works with common parenting problems as well as related concerns like depression, self-esteem, and trauma.
Approaches for parenting and trauma online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday parenting stress to build clearer routines and calmer reactions.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurts affect present life and parenting. It uses paced techniques to reduce overwhelming reactions and supports safer ways to respond to triggers that can come up during family life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, family routines, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let parents and teens meet face to face without travel, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging allow short check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school and work schedules and to try new skills at home while keeping the therapist involved.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
