LISW, 11 years of experience
About me
Hello, I am grateful for your time in reading this. My name is Katrina Spohn and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (with supervision designation) in Ohio. I come to you with 11 years of experience in direct clinical work. I have worked in a variety of settings (community, home, office-based), but was enthralled with the emergence of telehealth service delivery. I am deeply passionate about the work that I do with clients. I am a highly attuned individual, who holds a great deal of empathy and compassion. When I am with you, I am with you. I want to help support you to speak the unspeakable; put into words that which seems so overwhelming to decipher. I am not a doctor, I am a guide and partner in your life's journey. I am eclectic in style and will adapt an individualized approach in order to best meet each of my client's needs. I am extremely open and receptive, and ready to really listen.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we will introduce ourselves and I will reflect on the highlighted concerns you currently have that brings you to therapy, as well as history. We will discuss what services will look like in our work together. I will answer any questions you may have and gather your thoughts on what you envision things looking like by the end of therapy. I will support you in identifying key goals you would like to work towards. I will also assess what styles may be effective/not effective in supporting you and explore what you are looking for.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a seasoned clinician with a wealth of knowledge regarding psychology, psychotherapy, and emotional attunement.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with any individual that is motivated to want to make a change. I am best suited for individuals who dare to dig deep into themselves. In order to address trauma, it is necessary to know that it sometimes can be an extended process. I am open to working with all age ranges, as I intrinsically appreciate every stage of development and its need for social and emotional support.

My treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment-based treatment has been an intense focus throughout my career and an integral lens that I hold. The relationships that we have forged through early life experiences impact everything and have shaped who we are in the present moment. In my work, I dare to dig deep-- which requires getting to the core of the roots. This work is very hard, but with a skilled, compassionate support in a safe environment, it can be the most rewarding choice one makes to unpack what has brought each of us to who we are today. An Attachment-based treatment focus formulates a rich understanding of one self in relation to the world around us.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)l involves learning to see your thoughts about yourself as separate from your actions. By doing so, one can make space for their thoughts and feelings without becoming entangled with them, Mindfulness is a key element, in which a non-judgmental stance is taken towards "noticing" of thoughts and emotions, lessening attachment to them, and consequently, reducing their intensity. This change in relationship to them allows your inner thoughts and feelings to occur without trying to change or ignore them. Additionally, compassion is fostered towards one's inner experience. The element of mindfulness within this method also focuses on making conscious effort towards being in the present moment, preventing past experiences, memories, and conditioning from negatively affecting your interactions in the here and now. Psychological flexibility is built through this framework, which allows for greater freedom in making choices and responses which align with personal values, rather than being hijacked by emotional intensity, urges, and triggered sensations. This method ultimately can positively transform one's relationship with their thoughts and feelings and restore a sense of self-control.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Negative/unhealthy thought patterns can lead to emotional distress, anxiety,, depression, and maladaptive behavioral responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a foundational treatment method that involves psychoeducation to understand the interconnectiveness between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Increasing the understanding of specific patterns of thoughts and emotions can allow for improved control over how one can respond to them in a healthy way. This decreases internal emotional distress and builds insight into how behavior and mood can strongly be shaped and driven by our thoughts and feelings. It can help to break and transform unhelpful patterns into more positive, desired patterns.
