About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma and addictive behaviors. Katrina also supports concerns such as stress, parenting challenges, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, and career difficulties.
She trained with a Master of Social Work and has worked across hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court and jail settings. That background gives her experience with a wide range of situations and levels of intensity. She brings that practical experience into routine counseling conversations.
Katrina uses evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. She uses structured techniques alongside conversation to address symptoms and daily problems.
Her method emphasizes building self-awareness and new coping habits. She talks through situations with clients, identifies patterns that get in the way, and tries practical strategies to change them. This includes working on communication, forgiveness, and managing strong emotions.
People who come for support can expect direct, goal-oriented work. Katrina encourages plain discussion about what is and isn’t working, and she adjusts the pacing to fit each client’s needs. To begin, clients follow the service matching and scheduling steps provided by the platform.
How Katrina applies CBT and structured approaches online
Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in clear, practical ways: identifying thinking patterns that worsen mood, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems like social fear or negative self-talk.She combines that with focused problem-solving and skill practice to address day-to-day difficulties such as stress, communication problems, and coping after loss. Those methods break problems into manageable steps and include homework tasks to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katrina will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try first. She adjusts methods based on what helps and what does not, so the plan evolves with the work.
Session format options are not listed in her biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets clients use video or phone options where that is offered, which can suit different comfort levels and schedules.
