About Katina
Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, and mood challenges. She writes short, clear plans and listens to what matters to each person.
Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon. With 22 years of experience, she draws on several therapy styles to match the situation. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Parents often work on balancing care responsibilities while protecting their own mental health. Dr. Hill-Thompson blends skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy tools show up when people need skills for emotion regulation and stress tolerance. Her client-centered stance means the conversation is guided by each client's goals.
She collaborates on realistic steps and homework that fit daily life. Progress is tracked in small, measurable ways so change feels doable. People come to her for support with grief, self-esteem, forgiveness, and family-of-origin issues as well as mood disorders like bipolar and depression.
She also helps with communication problems, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Florida. Dr.
Hill-Thompson welcomes international clients and uses a flexible mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a time that works for the client. Her fee structure varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without letting those thoughts control their actions. It is useful when worries, guilt, or shame get in the way of parenting or daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that began early in life and how they affect current bonds and reactions; this approach can help people change how they connect and communicate with partners or family members. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions match the client’s needs rather than forcing a single technique. Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy people and parents. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit coaching and brief reflections into a busy day. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit around caregiving, work, and other demands.Questions people ask about Katina
