Katrina Rushing , LPC

Katrina Rushing brings a warm, purpose-driven approach to counseling, centered on meeting people where they are and supporting meaningful change. She draws on experience working with adolescents, teens, adults, families, and individuals navigating challenges before and after incarceration, offering steady guidance toward improved quality of life.

Katrina believes that every person matters and that each individual has a unique path and something valuable to offer. She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and greets them with an open heart and a nonjudgmental stance, creating space to explore difficult issues and identify practical steps forward.

When a person is ready to address the obstacles that hold them back, Katrina collaborates with them to pursue resolution and balance. As an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), she combines empathy with goal-focused work to help clients build skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want to live.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

Katrina integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, focusing on listening with empathy and helping clients set goals that reflect their values. This approach is useful for clients seeking understanding, self-exploration, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often helpful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated when clients need skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These strategies can be especially useful for intense mood swings, relationship difficulties, and building coping skills.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Katrina works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Katrina offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to access consistent care from wherever clients are located within the therapist's service area.
