How Katrina blends trauma-focused work with online sessions
EMDR is used as a way to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. In short sessions Katrina guides clients through structured bilateral stimulation while helping them re-evaluate troubling beliefs tied to those memories. This approach is often used for post-traumatic stress, panic, and strong trauma reactions.Trauma-informed care shows up as attention to safety, pacing and consent in sessions. Katrina pays attention to how past experiences affect current behavior and works at a pace the client can manage. She also incorporates other evidence-based techniques to teach coping skills like grounding and emotion regulation for anxiety and panic.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts plans as the work progresses so clients can see what works for them.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people take part without needing to be on camera for the whole time, depending on the agreed format.
