About Katina
Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anger, relationship strain, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and trauma. She also helps people facing intimacy problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Her style is direct and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people name what makes them angry or stuck. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication rather than long lectures. Clients can expect straightforward talk about patterns that feed resentment and simple steps to change them.
Dr. Hill-Thompson uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for intense emotions and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when anger gets in the way of what matters most.
She draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships and family history shape someone’s anger. The work often includes practicing new ways to ask for needs and set boundaries. When relevant, sessions will address trauma, mood concerns, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
People who prefer clear goals and skills tend to do well with her approach. She asks practical questions and assigns usable strategies between sessions. If someone wants coaching around life changes, that element can be added alongside therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Hill-Thompson commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when anger or anxiety is present. CBT focuses on spotting thinking and behavior patterns that keep anger active and replacing them with more useful responses.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT-style skills can make intense moments shorter and easier to manage, which helps with relationships and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to figure out which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means starting with the problems you want to change, trying practical tools, and adjusting the plan as needed.
