About Katrina

Katrina Whyman (Carbee) is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Vermont. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She works with clients to build practical skills for mood, impulse control, and motivation. With eight years of experience, Katrina blends straightforward conversation with skill-building exercises. She aims to make goals concrete and achievable, not vague.

This can include short behavior changes, planning, and new ways to handle strong emotions. She commonly addresses attention-related struggles such as difficulty focusing and impulsivity alongside mood and anxiety concerns. Katrina explains options in plain language and checks in often about what is or isn’t helpful.

People who choose her can expect steady, down-to-earth support and a focus on real-life changes. She helps clients break problems into small steps and track progress over time.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Evidence-based techniques often used in counseling include skill-building work that teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. These methods focus on specific exercises and homework that help people change daily habits and reactions.

Another common element is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes pacing, safety, and helping people process difficult memories at a manageable rate. This approach supports people dealing with past hurt, grief, or overwhelming stress by starting small and adjusting to each person’s comfort level.

Deciding which method fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and goal-focused.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and teaching skills that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer visits. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and steady progress without traveling to an office.
