    About Katina

    Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationships, family struggles, mood concerns, and trauma. She speaks directly and calmly, helping people take the first steps toward change. Her approach aims to make conversations feel manageable and focused on practical next steps.

    With 22 years of experience, she draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often look at how patterns from family of origin and attachment shape current relationships. She also supports people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse.

    Her work emphasizes clear goals and respectful collaboration. She uses methods that help clients notice what matters most, try small changes, and build coping skills over time. Techniques include motivational interviewing to clarify values and boost readiness for change, cognitive behavioral strategies for thought and behavior shifts, and attachment-based ideas to improve connection.

    Dr. Hill-Thompson tailors discussions and plans to each client’s circumstances. She addresses issues like parenting strain, communication problems, anger, self-esteem, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those navigating life transitions, relationship intimacy concerns, and young adult challenges.

    People who choose her can expect a practical, compassionate style that balances empathy with concrete steps. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to move at a pace that feels right for them.

  2. How online sessions use practical approaches

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and helping clients weigh options so they can move toward goals that feel meaningful.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches notice-and-accept skills and guides people to act on their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family of origin themes.

    Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and real-life needs. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

    Confirm available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity while managing work, parenting, or other commitments.
