About Katrina
Katrina Brown works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to help clients find clearer choices and more calm in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Katrina trained at the University of Missouri-Columbia and holds a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT practicing in Texas, and she brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing a range of concerns.
Her style is straightforward and curious. She listens closely, asks questions to understand what matters most, and helps clients spot patterns that get in the way.
Katrina uses practical techniques to challenge negative thoughts and to identify personal strengths that people can build on. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and creating step-by-step plans for change.
She helps people navigate blended family issues, divorce and separation, and the transition to young adulthood. Katrina also supports those coping with grief, addiction struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Clients can expect a mix of skill practice and reflective conversation. Katrina encourages ownership of the process so people leave with clear ideas they can try between sessions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward stability, improved coping, and clearer relationships.
Using the Gottman Method and Online Sessions
Katrina uses the Gottman Method as one clear approach to help people improve how they communicate and handle conflict. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for listening, reducing reactivity, and rebuilding trust, which can help with relationship tension and communication problems.She pairs that approach with straightforward coaching on thinking patterns and coping strategies. Together she and the client decide which methods to try based on goals and what feels most helpful. Katrina sees choosing an approach as a collaborative step - she will listen, suggest options, and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people practice communication skills in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can help keep momentum between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and different levels of interaction while working toward clearer thinking and better relationships.
