About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and codependency. Katrina also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, and life changes.

Katrina approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people set small, realistic goals. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and trying new ways of relating to others.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s goals and perspective. Katrina also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and adjust thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.

Katrina has worked with people from varied backgrounds and life situations. She writes that she greets clients openly and is ready to help anyone willing to work on the tough issues that hold them back. Her approach is direct and practical rather than theoretical.

People can expect sessions that focus on clearly defined steps. Katrina encourages gradual change through repeated practice and short-term goals. This can include role-playing boundary conversations, building emotional regulation skills, or planning concrete steps after a life transition.

How sessions work

How Katrina’s approaches translate to online work

Katrina uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit well with remote conversations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective, so online sessions begin by clarifying what the client most wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and actions; online work can include tracking thoughts between sessions and practicing new behaviors in daily life.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation. DBT skills offer concrete exercises for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices can be guided during a session and practiced afterward to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Katrina will review what’s working and adjust methods based on the client’s needs and goals. That collaborative check-in helps choose which skills to prioritize and when to shift focus.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice real-life assignments between meetings without extra travel.
