Catrina Horn

Catrina Horn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience practicing in Tennessee. She has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Catrina also holds experience supporting concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, and issues tied to caregiving or first responder work.

Her approach centers on the client's own knowledge of their life. She uses client-centered methods to listen first and understand each person's story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to build practical skills for mood management and coping. Narrative and mindfulness work help people reframe painful memories and practice present-moment grounding.

Sessions are aimed at clear, usable tools rather than abstract talk. She helps people name patterns, test small changes, and create steps that fit daily life. This can include strategies for managing substance use, handling grief, and navigating major transitions.

Her background includes work with domestic violence, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood problems such as DMDD. Catrina also has experience with fatherhood issues, commitment and communication struggles, and the stresses that come with blended families.

People who are unsure what comes next often choose a practical first session to set goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values and priorities so they can choose small next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for mood issues, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different methods, and adapt the plan based on what helps most. Goals, personal preferences, and day-to-day demands guide which methods are emphasized.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten some check-ins, and remove travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skill practice between meetings, worksheets, and in-the-moment coaching that fit into regular routines. Licensed professionals can help find the mix of sessions and practices that match a client's needs and schedule.
