About Katrina

Katrina Spohn is a licensed independent social worker who focuses on helping families and parents manage stressful life moments and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand each family’s story. Katrina aims to make the first steps toward care feel manageable for a worried parent.

She has around 10 years of clinical experience working in community mental health settings. Over that time she supported children, individuals, and families with parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Katrina learned to adapt her practice to online care during the COVID-19 pandemic and now offers remote sessions in several formats. Katrina prefers to learn what matters most to each person before choosing tools or techniques. She draws on attachment-based ideas to notice relationship patterns.

She uses client-centered listening to prioritize what the family wants to change. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method when those methods fit a family’s goals. Her license is LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker - and she practices from Ohio.

Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and availability and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone signs the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Katrina adapts session plans to each family’s needs and moves at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current family dynamics. It helps parents and caregivers notice how interaction styles shape behavior and connection. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what the family wants to change and relies on respectful, nonjudgmental listening to guide those shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for coping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Katrina will listen to your concerns and try methods that fit your goals and comfort level. Together you will review what’s helping and what to try next until the plan feels useful and realistic for your family. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let a therapist observe interactions and coach in real time. Phone sessions and text-based messaging provide flexible check-ins when schedules or transportation are barriers. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief support between sessions. These options aim to increase access and make ongoing work with a licensed professional more convenient for parents and caregivers.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
