About Katrina

Katrina Rushing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. She welcomes clients who are ready to tackle hard problems and wants to help them find clearer footing. Katrina aims for straightforward, practical work so people can begin to feel more in control of everyday life.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Katrina listens first and then helps people set realistic goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox.

In sessions she focuses on what you want to change next. That might mean setting small steps for coping with stress, making a plan around sleep or eating, or working through grief and relationship concerns. Katrina also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue, guiding them toward practical strategies they can try between visits.

Her background includes eight years of clinical work across individual and reentry settings. Katrina emphasizes meeting people where they are and tailoring plans to fit each person’s life. She encourages clients to take manageable steps and to notice progress as they go.

If someone is ready to begin, Katrina asks for honest communication about goals and limits. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, with steady focus on what changes will help improve daily functioning and overall wellbeing.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name goals, and supports your own decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and stress tolerance skills that can help with intense feelings and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katrina will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. That lets you and the therapist pick strategies that feel useful and doable.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to meet during a lunch break or between errands. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and the kinds of skills you want to practice.
