About Katrina
Dr. Katrina Stokes is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Michigan with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and career concerns. Her writing and talking are direct and practical so parents can read quickly and decide next steps.
She starts by listening to what matters to the person in front of her. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and on trying small changes that can affect daily life.
Dr. Stokes uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means she helps people notice thought and behavior patterns, tests different responses, and checks what works. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past harm is affecting current coping.
Her work includes attention to first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and infidelity. She also supports people who are managing grief after loss and those facing career crossroads. The emphasis is on clear steps and measurable changes rather than long theoretical talks.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Pricing varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to be sure they fit your schedule.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Stokes commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in sessions. CBT means breaking down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and trying specific changes to see what helps. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and using the client’s own goals to guide each session. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help finding the next step and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting current coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. That decision is checked and adjusted over time based on what the client notices and what actually changes.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, shorten check-in visits, or avoid travel time. They also allow for quieter surroundings or not being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use a range of approaches online, and Dr. Stokes will adapt techniques like CBT exercises and solution-focused tasks to whatever session format you agree on.
