Katrina Covington, LCMHC, LCPC

Katrina Covington is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and related challenges. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, relationship concerns, and veteran and armed forces issues. Katrina uses straightforward language and a practical style to help people take the next steps toward feeling better.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm. Katrina adapts her approach to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and skills people can use between meetings.

Katrina has five years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC and LCPC credentials. She practices in Illinois and works with adults across a range of concerns connected to mood, stress, and substance use. Her background as a long-term military spouse also informs her understanding of military-related stressors.

In a typical session she listens, helps you set practical goals, and teaches tools you can try right away. Homework or short exercises are often used to build new habits outside the session. The pace is collaborative - she partners with you to track progress and adjust plans when needed.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online

Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In plain terms, CBT teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or urges linked to addiction.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the impact of past harm in a paced way. It uses gradual, evidence-based techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the everyday symptoms they cause, such as hypervigilance or avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Katrina will work with clients to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time so the work matches progress and changing priorities.

The original biography does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Discussing scheduling preferences and practical concerns during the matching process helps ensure sessions fit a client’s routine.
