About Katrina

Katrina Spohn is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker, LISW, with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, and questions of life purpose. Katrina also addresses ADHD, depression, anger, and career uncertainty.

Katrina learned her early skills in community mental health settings. She began offering telehealth after the COVID-19 pandemic and has since kept it as a key part of her practice. In sessions she listens for patterns from childhood attachments, current relationships, and day-to-day coping. She uses straightforward conversation to pinpoint what feels stuck and what people want to change.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix lets her notice how past relationships shape present feelings, while teaching practical steps to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed ways of looking at relational patterns when couples work on connection and repair.

Katrina aims to be curious and direct in session. She asks questions that clarify a person’s story and then sets short-term goals to try between meetings. Sessions may combine talking, skill practice, and reflection about how patterns began and how they continue now.

She supports people navigating life changes such as new parenthood, career shifts, loss, or returning to work after illness. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How Katrina uses therapeutic methods in online sessions

Katrina commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns in closeness. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and how to build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people test and change unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes between sessions.

She also integrates client-centered conversation, which centers the client's perspective and priorities. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what responds best in early meetings to shape ongoing work together.

The biography notes Katrina moved into telehealth after the pandemic, but current session formats are not fully listed. Please confirm the exact online options when booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer blocks for in-depth reflection; Katrina will adjust session pacing to match what helps each person make steady progress.
