Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson, LCSW

Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. She offers calm, respectful care and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She focuses on practical support for intimacy challenges, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also works with parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, mood disorders, and the fallout of past wounds such as abandonment or family of origin issues. Her approach is grounded in listening closely and adapting the plan to each person’s situation.

Dr. Hill-Thompson combines several well-known methods to guide sessions. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current bonds.

Her practice is informed by more than two decades of experience, and she brings a steady, compassionate presence to conversations that can feel raw or overwhelming. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to set goals that matter to them.

People who reach out will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can still include skill practice, values-guided exercises, and talking through difficult memories or relationship patterns, while keeping the focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
