About Catrina

Catrina Horn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience. She is licensed in Arkansas and practices in Tennessee. Her work has focused on addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes.

Catrina describes the person in front of her as the expert on their own story. She listens for what matters most and helps people name what feels stuck. Sessions are practical and grounded in day-to-day life. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

People come to Catrina for help after loss, when addiction or mood problems interfere with daily life, or when a big change arrives without a plan. She also works with concerns that often sit under those problems - attachment wounds, abandonment, communication struggles, or stresses tied to caregiving and blended family dynamics. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current choices.

Her methods include client-centered listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. Mindfulness and narrative ideas are used to help people shift how they understand painful memories and habits. In sessions she mixes reflection with concrete skills practice so people can try changes between meetings.

Catrina asks straightforward questions about goals and what would feel different if things shifted. She describes therapy as collaborative work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person telling their story and being listened to without judgement. It helps when shame or guilt make someone reluctant to speak up, because the therapist follows the person's lead and clarifies what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. For guilt and shame this can mean noticing harsh self-statements and testing more balanced ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and keeping contact with goals when feelings escalate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful. That way treatment steps are chosen together rather than assumed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the session options offered before booking so you know whether video or phone sessions are available. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into everyday life.
