About Katrina
Katrina Carter is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, and guilt and shame.
She works with adults who are carrying heavy feelings about past actions, family roles, or relationship mistakes. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people name what they are feeling, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Katrina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She encourages straightforward talk about feelings and behaviors, then experiments with different ways to respond. That might include looking at how old relationship patterns repeat, practicing new ways to set boundaries, or facing thoughts that fuel guilt and shame.
Her approach is collaborative. She and the client set goals together and check progress as they go. The focus is on usable steps - practices people can bring into work, home, and relationships to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity.
She offers care in English and works within the frame of her California LMFT credential. Before scheduling, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can begin with clear goals and practical next steps.
How evidence-based tools translate to online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on practicing new behaviors. Cognitive approaches target the thoughts that fuel anxiety, guilt, or intrusive self-criticism and teach concrete skills for testing those thoughts. Interpersonal and attachment-focused work looks at relationship patterns and helps people try different ways of communicating and setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is tracked. This means the plan can change based on what feels most useful for the person in front of them.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work breaks, avoiding travel time, or choosing an audio-only meeting when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so therapy keeps moving forward without requiring in-person visits.
