About Katrina
Katrina Rushing is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life changes. Katrina also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, ADHD, body image, and career stress. She offers straightforward, practical help for everyday problems.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build trust, then layers in cognitive and behavioral techniques when useful. That means talking through patterns that keep problems going, then practicing concrete changes that reduce upset and improve daily routine. Mindfulness skills and DBT strategies are used to manage strong feelings and lower reactivity.
Katrina describes her style as open and willing. She invites people who are ready to work on difficult issues and who want practical ways to move forward. She emphasizes respectful, direct conversation rather than long theory talks.
Her background includes experience with adults across a range of life situations, including people navigating the criminal justice system before and after incarceration. She also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can take between meetings. Katrina uses motivational interviewing strategies when people want help changing habits. She aims to help clients find balance, reduce frequent anger or resentment, and improve how they relate to others.
How her approaches transfer to online work
Katrina often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience so goals are clearer. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage strong emotions. DBT techniques include breathing and grounding practices, emotion regulation, and step-by-step responses to reduce reactive behavior. These approaches suit issues like anger, anxiety, and relationship conflict by teaching repeatable skills.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Katrina will talk with the client about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative testing helps people see which tools fit their life and their stressors.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make practicing skills between sessions more convenient, since people can apply techniques where they live and work.
