About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced in Illinois for many years. She earned a Master of Social Work at Aurora University in 2000 and brings 25 years of experience across hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court settings. Katrina focuses on clear, practical help for people dealing with strong emotions and life changes.
She works with common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing relationship strain, addictive behaviors, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, and panic or social anxiety symptoms. Katrina uses methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and everyday life. She keeps language straightforward and actions practical so ideas can be used between sessions. Her style is open-minded and nonjudgmental.
Katrina emphasizes the importance of a trusting connection and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them. She helps clients increase self-awareness and make gradual changes that feel doable. People who reach out can expect a partner in problem solving rather than a lecture.
Katrina draws on long clinical experience to offer steady guidance while centering each person’s priorities and pace.

How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood challenges by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.In session Katrina uses these CBT ideas to set small goals and test new habits in everyday life. She tailors strategies to the person’s concerns, whether that means coping skills for panic, mood tracking, or changing thought patterns that feed stress or relationship tension. This is a collaborative process where therapist and client choose what to try based on goals and comfort.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work more like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share updates, ask questions between sessions, or get brief support without scheduling a full call.
Across formats the therapist will help figure out which approach and session type match the client’s needs, goals, and day-to-day life, adjusting as progress and preferences become clearer.
