About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with 25 years of experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from Aurora University in 2000 and has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court and jail settings. Katrina focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns.
Her approach is straightforward. She uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. Katrina places a high value on the relationship between therapist and client. She aims to be open-minded and nonjudgmental and to offer a perspective that can create movement when someone feels stuck.
That connection is treated as one of the most important parts of the work. She often helps people with relationship difficulties, addictive behaviors, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Katrina also addresses mood-related concerns including panic, bipolar symptoms, and social anxiety, alongside women's issues and caregiver stress.
Over her career she has supported people across different settings and life stages. The focus is on practical, moment-to-moment coping skills alongside exploring personal values and goals. Katrina invites clients to work together to build awareness, stronger communication, and clearer next steps.
How Katrina Uses Evidence-Based Therapy Online
Katrina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and for learning concrete coping skills.Her online work centers on matching the approach to each person. She talks with clients about goals and preferences, then chooses techniques together. This collaborative process helps decide when to focus on skills, when to process feelings, and when to try behavioral experiments.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities and let people keep progress going even when travel or schedules change. Katrina uses the same practical exercises and goal-setting methods online as she does in-person, so clients can practice skills between meetings and track small changes over time.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
