About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 25 years of experience. She has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court and jail settings. Katrina focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and anger.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Aurora University, earned in 2000, and a long clinical history across multiple settings. That variety means she has seen a wide range of life changes and crises, including mood disorders and trauma. She also lists work with issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, eating concerns, and LGBT-related matters.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other evidence-based approaches. Katrina describes her practice as goal oriented and practical - she works with people to increase self-awareness and to find movement when they feel stuck. Conversations focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings as well as looking at patterns that keep problems going.
She emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client. Katrina says feeling comfortable with the person you choose to talk to matters most. She aims to be open-minded and non-judgmental while helping clients explore how they relate to themselves and to others.
People who come to her often want straightforward help with stress, panic, communication problems, forgiveness, self-esteem, and career struggles. Her work blends practical techniques with attention to the real-life context that created the problem.
How Katrina Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical and skill based, often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and anger by teaching ways to shift thinking and behavior. Her approach also includes looking at patterns in relationships and daily routines that keep problems going. That kind of work can help with communication problems, caregiver stress, and low self-esteem by making small, repeatable changes over time. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katrina will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using. Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, shortening check-ins when needed, or allowing workday appointments.
