About Katrina
Katrina Herweh is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. Katrina aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.
She completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Xavier University and a Master of Arts in Social Work at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She is pursuing a PhD in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago with research interests in pediatric medical trauma. Katrina has five years of clinical social work experience.
Katrina uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck and ready to change. She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Katrina focuses on building a trusting relationship first, then setting clear, realistic goals together. Sessions typically involve talking through concerns, trying out small strategies between sessions, and checking progress each visit.
Katrina pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people managing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal changes in mood. The tone in her practice is collaborative and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people make steady, meaningful changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Katrina commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, reflective questions, and small, achievable steps to build momentum.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work too, offering clear tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to improve mood and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed in session.
Session-format details are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity when life gets disruptive. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to what fits a person's day-to-day routine rather than promising a specific delivery style. -
