Katrina Spohn, LISW

Katrina Spohn is a licensed independent social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy.

Katrina draws on about 10 years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health settings and has focused on trauma, parenting, and relationship concerns. Her background includes work with people coping with grief, addiction, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first to understand an individual’s story. Then she tailors conversation and goals to fit what matters most to that person. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes.

Katrina uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered strategies to help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and strengthen important relationships. She also incorporates emotionally focused ideas when relationship repair is a goal.

She offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats let people choose what works best for their schedule and communication style. Katrina practices in Ohio as an LISW and conducts all sessions in English.

Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Katrina aims to move at each person’s pace while addressing immediate concerns like safety, coping, and daily functioning.

How her approaches fit online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect and relate. It helps when patterns from early relationships affect current bonds and emotional safety. This approach can be useful for people wanting more secure, steady interactions with others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then replace them with more helpful options. It is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing impulsivity or substance-related patterns. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering support and reflection rather than direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean trying different tools over several sessions and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy gives flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work between meetings.
