Katrina Lane

Katrina Lane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Texas. She brings 31 years of experience and a calm, interactive approach to therapy. Katrina aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and major life changes.

Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. Katrina uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace and priorities. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Katrina’s background spans psychiatric hospitals, day treatment programs, residential treatment, substance abuse services, a rape crisis center, and school settings. That variety informs how she responds to trauma, abuse, grief, and complex emotional symptoms like dissociation. Her training includes a Master of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University–Commerce and extensive graduate coursework.

In sessions she tailors conversation and plans to the individual’s situation and culture. She describes her practice as trauma-informed and attentive to lifestyle differences. Katrina supports people facing parenting challenges, relationship strain, career transitions, caregiver stress, and issues tied to family of origin.

People who choose her often want practical strategies alongside emotional support. She encourages taking small steps and builds on each person’s strengths to move toward more satisfying daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what she hears to help clarify priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds clear tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping under stress.

Choosing which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different strategies to see what fits best. This collaborative exploration helps shape an individualized plan rather than applying one fixed method.

Because the original biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find online care useful for fitting therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules, for having shorter check-ins when needed, and for reducing travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or DBT exercises to an online setting and use client-centered listening just the same, so the focus stays on practical skills and making steady progress.
