About Katrina
Katrina Carter is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges after big life changes.
She often works with concerns around abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Katrina also supports people dealing with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and struggles with life purpose.
In sessions she invites clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress and what the client wants to change. Conversations focus on practical steps and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. Katrina encourages short-term goals alongside deeper work when it fits the client's needs.
Her style centers on collaborative problem solving. She listens for relationship patterns and recurring thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood. Together with the client she tests small changes to see what helps and adjusts plans over time.
Katrina’s background as an LMFT means she brings training in relational approaches and clinical practice with individuals. Her work emphasizes making choices that align with personal values and practical adjustments that reduce daily stress. She asks new clients to describe recent changes and what matters most now before planning the first sessions.
Therapeutic methods and remote work
Many clinicians who focus on relationship and mood concerns use evidence-based techniques to guide practical change. One common approach looks at attachment patterns and relationship dynamics to understand how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations; this helps clarify why certain conflicts or fears recur. Another frequently used method targets thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood, helping people test different responses and notice what changes their feelings.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match those goals. She adjusts methods based on what the client finds helpful and on progress over the first few sessions.
The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or avoid taking extended time off work. Ask about current session options when you schedule your first appointment.
