About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is an LPC with eight years of experience who focuses on common family and parenting concerns like stress, anxiety, parenting, and relationship struggles. She talks plainly and meets people where they are. Katrina aims to help clients move past the issues that hold them back and find more balance in daily life.

Katrina centers sessions on what each person needs in the moment. She listens without judgment and helps set small, practical goals.

Background and approach

Conversations often include skills to manage strong feelings and steps to change unhelpful patterns. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses those methods alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to support coping and behavior change.

Each plan is adapted to a client’s unique situation and preferences. In sessions she focuses on specific problems like sleep, eating, substance use, grief, and career stress. She also addresses attachment, communication problems, codependency, and control issues when relevant.

The work can include teaching coping skills, practicing new responses, and planning realistic next steps. Katrina practices in Oklahoma and holds an LPC license - OK LPC 7284. Sessions are offered in English and include phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She asks people to be ready to work on the hard parts and to participate in building clearer routines and healthier patterns.

How Katrina’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps for family and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Katrina uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and managing stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and comfort. She will adjust the plan as progress is made and as goals change so the therapy stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let clients work face to face from home, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, focused check-ins and skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and support steady progress over time.

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.
