About Katrina

Katrina Spohn is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship struggles. She works with parents, individuals coping with life changes, and people dealing with grief, addiction, or work and identity concerns. Katrina aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful. Katrina uses a few approaches to fit each person's needs, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered conversations. She listens for the specific patterns behind a person's difficulty and then tailors sessions to those concerns. Her style mixes practical strategies and deeper reflection so people can cope now and grow over time. Katrina has a decade of experience as a social worker in Ohio. Much of her background comes from community mental health settings where she supported people with parenting questions, relationship conflict, and trauma-related problems. Since the COVID-19 pandemic she found telehealth a useful way to meet people where they are. In session she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She invites curiosity about each person's story and works collaboratively to shape goals. Katrina encourages small steps at first so progress feels achievable. If someone wants to focus on attachment issues, parenting stress, or symptoms like anxiety and depression, she adapts tools and conversation to the situation. Clients and therapists together build a plan that fits daily life and personal priorities.

How online therapy uses trauma-informed and attachment work

Katrina draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and overwhelming experiences; this approach focuses on helping people process distressing memories and build coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns, which can improve relationship skills and emotional regulation.

She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's goals and pace, so decisions about methods come from a shared discussion. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Katrina will help figure out what fits best based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable for the client.

Ask about available session options before booking to confirm how she currently meets with clients. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, since they can schedule around work, childcare, or other obligations. Online visits can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the time spent traveling to appointments, helping therapy stay consistent during busy seasons.
