About Katrina
Katrina Herweh is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and young adult concerns.
Katrina trained at Xavier University (Bachelor of Social Work) and Miami University (Master of Arts in Social Work). She is currently pursuing a PhD in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago, where she studies pediatric medical trauma. That academic background informs her careful approach to clinical work.
In sessions she uses straightforward methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, tell different stories about their experiences, set small goals, and find practical next steps. Conversations are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.
Katrina’s work often centers on processing difficult memories and managing strong emotions. She supports people who carry shame or guilt about actions, identities, or losses, and helps them sort what feels manageable now versus what may need longer work. Expect concrete strategies alongside reflective conversation.
She lives in Ohio and brings a direct, calm approach to sessions. People who prefer clear tools and grounded conversation may find this style helpful when tackling distressing memories or shifting stuck patterns.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them lead the work. It is useful when someone wants a therapist who follows their priorities and supports their decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, mood problems, and managing guilt-driven thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises one week and narrative techniques the next to see what helps with specific feelings or memories.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or avoid travel across town. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online sessions to continue regular momentum and practice skills between meetings, while shaping the format to practical needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
