About Katrina

Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of professional experience practicing in Illinois. She earned a Master of Social Work and has worked across settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court/jail programs.

Background and approach

Over decades of practice she has helped people managing depression, anxiety, grief and trauma as well as those facing relationship strain and addictive behaviors. Her style blends evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Katrina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills, while also fostering greater self-awareness and emotional insight. She prioritizes openness and nonjudgmental listening, believing that a supportive professional relationship can create movement when someone feels stuck.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances practical strategies and deeper exploration of life themes such as self-worth, communication, caregiving stress, and life purpose. Katrina frames therapy as a shared journey and aims to support growth through difficult experiences by helping clients find new perspectives and clearer direction.

Online Care Grounded in Practical Therapy

Many of Katrina's clinical methods focus on structured, skills-based work alongside exploration of personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to help clients recognize patterns of thought that contribute to anxiety, depression, and panic, and then practice concrete strategies to shift those patterns and manage symptoms. This approach is useful when someone wants clear tools for coping and measurable steps toward change.

She also emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and collaborative planning, helping clients clarify goals and choose methods that fit their preferences and life circumstances. Figuring out the best approach is part of the work together, and Katrina partners with clients to adjust strategies based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to busy lives. These options allow clients to engage from different locations, fit sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for different kinds of therapeutic work.
