About Katrina

Katrina Covington brings a deep familiarity with military life to her therapeutic work as a military spouse of 23 years, and she has practiced across a variety of clinical settings serving both military and civilian communities. Her experience includes supporting adults, teens, and children through common and complex challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance use, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, grief, and anger management.

Katrina builds each treatment plan around the individual, adapting techniques to meet specific needs rather than relying on a single approach. Her clinical foundation is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also incorporates elements from Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy when helpful to reach clients' goals. This flexible mix of tools allows her to address practical skills, thought patterns, emotional regulation, and problem-solving in ways that fit each person’s life.

Clients can expect a client-centered process that prioritizes collaboration and clear goals. Katrina holds professional licenses as an LCMHC and an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and she focuses on creating a supportive environment where changes are pursued through attentive, goal-oriented care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing symptoms. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns.

She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when working with people affected by traumatic experiences. This approach centers on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact, while teaching strategies for grounding and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katrina works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques over time to find the best fit for each individual. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and goal-directed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for clients to maintain consistent care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver effective, evidence-informed support without requiring in-person visits.
