Katrina Rushing, LPC

Katrina Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. She also supports concerns such as addiction, ADHD, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. Katrina meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to move forward.

She works in a straightforward, warm manner that aims to make hard conversations easier. Sessions center on what matters most to the client and on building skills to handle everyday challenges. Katrina encourages clients to try new coping strategies and to practice them between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She tailors these methods to each person's goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means sessions may include skill practice, thinking-pattern changes, and problem-solving exercises.

Katrina has eight years of counseling experience and brings practical experience from diverse settings including work with people before and after incarceration. She values openness and meets people from varied backgrounds with respect and curiosity. Her aim is to help clients find balance and improve day-to-day functioning.

People who choose Katrina can expect direct feedback, gentle challenge, and collaborative goal-setting. She asks clients to be willing to try things that feel difficult while she supports the process. The focus is on realistic steps that improve quality of life over time.

How approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead and build a plan around what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In online sessions this often means practicing new ways of thinking and doing between meetings, then reviewing progress together.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online meetings can be used to learn and rehearse these skills and to check in about how they fit into daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans based on what works. That way each person and their needs guide the work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter or more focused check-ins when useful. It can also let people keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
