The usual way of trying to fix this is to move back - about a half step - and up. That's easy enough for me to say at 6'1". At 5'6", you may need to follow the advice on moving to the other side, but make this an absolute last resort. I'd suggest that you really try moving back & up, if that still doesn't work, Ball a couple of pitches. Then clean the plate & let the catcher know why they were balls. Part of how to handle this depends on what the level of play is. At 14&U or younger, I might even think about talking to the coach. At the older & more skilled levels, I'd be much more likely to continue "balling" pitches that the catcher didn't let me get a look at.
