Katrina Herweh

Katrina Herweh is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. Katrina writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person she meets.

Katrina earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Xavier University and a Master of Arts in Social Work from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She is pursuing a PhD in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago with research focused on pediatric medical trauma. She has five years of clinical experience.

Her sessions center on building a warm, trustworthy connection. Katrina aims to make the room feel steady and calm so people can talk through difficult memories and current struggles. She uses a mix of approaches chosen to match what each person needs.

Katrina commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing traumatic experiences and post-traumatic stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also works with themes like forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, seasonal mood changes, and issues many young adults face. Katrina prioritizes collaboration and clear goals so progress is practical and understandable.

People who value straightforward conversation and steady support may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short questionnaire and schedule a session to see how the fit feels.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on daily life. In practice this means gently working through past events, building coping skills, and creating steps to reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own clarity and decide what changes feel right.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and personal style. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a simpler check-in during a work break, or reduce travel time. It can also make some interventions easier to continue between meetings with brief homework and check-ins. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor pacing and tools to suit how someone prefers to meet.
