About Katrina
Katrina Herweh is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and difficult life changes. Katrina also focuses on issues like guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, young adult concerns, and questions about life purpose.
She brings a straightforward, conversational approach to sessions. Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to look at patterns of thought and the stories people tell themselves. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and Solution-Focused techniques to set concrete next steps.
Katrina trained in social work at Xavier University and Miami University, and she is pursuing doctoral research at Loyola University Chicago. That background shapes her interest in trauma and in practical strategies for coping with lasting stress reactions.
In practice she listens for what a person wants to change and then tests small, manageable steps to get there. Sessions often include reflecting on how thoughts affect mood, trying a new behavior between meetings, and revising goals based on what worked. She explains ideas in plain language and keeps plans concrete.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event often come for help clarifying next steps. Katrina helps people weigh options, reduce the impact of traumatic memories, and build routines that make daily life more manageable.
Approaches you may use and how online work fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people name what matters and what they want to change. It is useful for sorting through big decisions and emotional reactions during life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by testing new ways of thinking and acting.
Motivational Interviewing helps clarify values and increase readiness for change. It is often used when someone feels uncertain about next steps or wants to shift habits without pressure.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Katrina will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. She often combines approaches and adjusts plans based on what helps in the weeks that follow.
