Evidence-Based Support, Made Accessible Online
Katrina Welch uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients navigate grief, caregiving stress, family challenges, and major life transitions with more steadiness and clarity. Skills-based therapy focuses on practical tools for managing intense emotions and day-to-day stress, which can be especially helpful for compassion fatigue, chronic illness, or chronic pain. A strengths-based approach helps clients identify what is already working, build on personal values, and reconnect with resilience during periods of uncertainty. A holistic lens also invites attention to how health, relationships, work, and identity intersect, which can be meaningful for those coping with cancer-related stress or caregiver responsibilities.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katrina works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the pace and focus over time so therapy stays relevant and supportive.
