About Katiuska
Katiuska Tanner uses a practical, evidence-based approach to help people manage stress and emotional pain. She focuses on clear steps to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Katiuska is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with ten years of experience working across care settings in Florida.
She has helped individuals in outpatient settings, in hospitals when stabilization was needed, and in school environments. Before providing therapy, she worked as a case manager supporting people with mental health and substance use challenges.
Background and approach
That background informs how she structures care and stays focused on everyday needs. Katiuska’s work emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable parts and practice skills between meetings.
She offers support through text, live chat, phone sessions, and video calls to fit different schedules. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating issues, intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career worries, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related concerns. She speaks English and provides services to people located in Florida.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She helps clients notice patterns, try new approaches, and track progress over time. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.
How evidence-based methods work online
Many of the most helpful techniques translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. Clients learn simple skills to shift thinking and try behavioral experiments between sessions, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Another useful set of techniques targets trauma and abuse-related symptoms by teaching grounding and emotion regulation skills. These skills aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase a person's ability to tolerate difficult feelings over time, helping with grief, anger, and intimacy-related challenges.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coping and brief updates between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
