    About Katrina

    Dr. Katrina Stokes helps people who are navigating relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, grief, and career stress. She acknowledges how hard it can feel to reach out and applauds the courage it takes to begin. Her style aims to make the first steps easier and more practical for people under pressure.

    Dr. Stokes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of professional experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and on that person's strengths. Conversations focus on clear goals, everyday choices, and steps that move the situation forward.

    Her approach draws from Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. She also uses Client-Centered methods to listen closely and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Solution-Focused ideas are used to highlight small changes that make a big difference.

    People bring a wide range of concerns, including first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and infidelity. In sessions she emphasizes practical strategies alongside listening and validation. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.

    Anyone considering starting therapy is invited to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. This helps clarify goals and allows planning sessions that match each person's needs and schedule.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find personal reasons to change. Online sessions using this approach focus on guiding questions, reflective listening, and stepwise plans that fit everyday routines.

    Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center. In remote sessions this means the therapist listens closely, mirrors concerns, and helps people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, helps people notice and test thoughts and behaviors; online work often includes short exercises and practical homework between meetings.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on how well the approach is helping.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while managing daily responsibilities.
