Catrina Horn, LCSW

Catrina Horn is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and big life changes. She holds an MS and practices as an LCSW in Tennessee. Catrina focuses on helping people find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming. Her work starts with listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they may not see. She uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to set goals and try new skills. Clients can expect a calm presence and a focus on what feels most important to them. Catrina draws on several therapy approaches to match the person and the problem. She uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s priorities front and center. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills for managing intense emotions. Narrative and mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox too, helping people reframe painful memories and develop steadier daily habits. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete strategies that can be used between meetings. Progress is treated as step-by-step work rather than instant fixes. People often come for help with substance use, relationship patterns, grief, or the ups and downs of mood conditions like bipolar disorder. Catrina aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can try new coping habits at a manageable pace.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your experience and priorities, with the therapist following your lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and daily habits that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for tolerating intense emotions and improving how you manage stress and relationships.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, life demands, and what methods feel most comfortable. Together they’ll try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most in everyday life.
