About Katrina
Katrina Covington is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, and anger. Katrina also maintains an additional focus on veteran and armed forces issues. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Katrina uses clear, goal-focused methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help notice thinking patterns and try different responses. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events affect current reactions. In sessions she talks through practical steps, small behavior changes, and coping skills that can be practiced between visits. She explains options for care and asks clients about their priorities before moving forward. Katrina uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details directly, since the available formats are set by the therapist at the time of booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing different behaviors. This approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the lingering impact of past traumatic events. Trauma-focused work helps people process difficult memories and reduce intense reactions that affect daily life. The methods include grounding, pacing, and addressing trauma-related patterns rather than promising any specific outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katrina will talk with each person about what feels most relevant and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT techniques, trauma-focused strategies, or a mix best fits the client's needs.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Confirm the available session types and scheduling details when you sign up so sessions match your daily routines.
