About Katina

Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson welcomes people seeking help with relationships, family conflict, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With a focus on collaborative problem-solving, she aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where clients can address issues such as depression, anxiety, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her practice emphasizes tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Holding a Florida LCSW and bringing 22 years of clinical experience, Dr. Hill-Thompson draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-focused work.

She also integrates elements of client-centered care and dialectical behavior skills when helpful, and attends to related concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, mood disorders, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue. She accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules.

Prospective clients begin by choosing Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Hill-Thompson commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and clarify personal values. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship strain, while ACT emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action toward what matters most.

She also brings attachment-based perspectives to understanding how early relational patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy and family issues. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules or those in different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing support, skill-building, and coaching-style guidance across time zones and varied routines, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily life.
