About Katrina

Katrina Lane is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Texas. She brings 31 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical, respectful care. Katrina speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people under stress.

She emphasizes sensitivity and a nonjudgmental tone while tailoring conversations to each person. Katrina draws from several well-known approaches to shape treatment.

Background and approach

She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation. Client-centered principles guide how she listens and responds, so the conversation stays focused on what matters most to the client. Her background includes work in psychiatric hospitals, day treatment programs, a residential treatment center, a substance abuse center, and a rape crisis center.

She has also worked in school systems as a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology and in independent practice. This variety informs how she adapts plans for different life situations. Katrina has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and career changes.

She also addresses issues such as ADHD, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and family problems. She adjusts pacing and techniques to fit each client’s needs and background. Her sessions aim to help people build skills, process difficult experiences, and find clearer ways forward.

Katrina encourages practical steps and makes space to talk through fears, setbacks, and goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward more manageable days.

How Katrina’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely and following the client’s lead. It creates space for people to say what matters and guides the therapist to respond in ways that fit each person’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by targeting day-to-day patterns that cause difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina discusses options and adapts methods based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She collaborates with clients to pick techniques that feel manageable and relevant, and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text-based messaging can support check-ins or quick skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and consistent progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
