About Catrina
She works with people who belong to a variety of subcultures and communities, including geek, LGBTQ, AAPI, chronically ill, neurodivergent, and kink cultures. Her practice emphasizes understanding clients within the context of their values, communities, and identities, and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth.
Catrina specializes in treating anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorders, ADHD, and neurodivergence. She draws on evidence-based talk therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life circumstances.
Working collaboratively, she helps clients set meaningful goals and develop practical tools that fit their daily lives. Catrina focuses on building sustainable skills for healthier living and greater well-being, and she looks forward to partnering with clients as they pursue those changes in Washington.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Catrina uses proven therapeutic methods to help clients build skills and find stability. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-focused style of conversation that helps clients resolve ambivalence and move toward meaningful change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catrina works together with each client to select techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions so they fit a client’s life and values rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers flexible options for receiving care. Sessions can take place by video calls or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward lasting change.
