About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with eight years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, grief, addictions, ADHD, and anger. Katrina also lists concerns such as coping with life changes, intimacy issues, sleeping and eating problems, and career-related stress. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.

Her style centers on straightforward, client-centered conversations. She listens to what is happening now, then helps people set small, realistic goals. Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. That means clients can expect work on thinking patterns, emotion regulation skills, and present-moment awareness.

She encourages active participation. Clients and Katrina identify what feels most urgent, try simple strategies, and adjust what isn’t working. The approach is problem-focused and action-oriented while keeping the pace manageable. She often frames sessions around skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Katrina’s background includes experience with people before and after incarceration, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds. That practical experience informs how she talks about boundaries, communication, and rebuilding routines. She emphasizes realistic steps for improving day-to-day functioning.

People who want direct, solution-minded work on anger, stress, or relationship patterns may find this approach helpful. She welcomes clients willing to try concrete strategies and follow through on small behavior changes.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It prioritizes the client's perspective and builds from their goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice. CBT can help with anger by identifying triggers and testing alternative responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills are useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts come up.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Katrina collaborates with clients to choose what to try first, then adjusts based on what helps. That means sessions often alternate between talking through problems, practicing a skill in the session, and assigning brief exercises to try between meetings.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many clients use this flexibility to practice skills between sessions and apply strategies directly to real-life situations.
