Katrina Blackwell

My name is Katrina Blackwell and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life transitions, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Life Coaching to help my clients make progress and reach their personal goals.

My approach

My approach to therapy is based on the needs of each client I work with. I select the modality that will help determine the client’s mindset and thought patterns, allowing myself and the client to develop steps toward goal attainment.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults and aging adults who may be dealing with the challenges of career and life transitions. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to develop coping mechanisms and feel better about themselves and their circumstances.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, empathetic, and respectful. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen intently and without judgment.

My goals for you

Your therapeutic goals will be determined through trust building and working collaboratively to define what you are aiming to attain through the therapeutic relationship. We will work together to set goals and track your progress.

My first session with you

We will spend the majority of the first session discussing how you have been feeling lately and what may have contributed to your current feelings. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each person is different, and I will need to listen to you first before determining what will work best for you moving forward.
