About Katrina

Katrina Dumas is a licensed professional counselor focused on practical, person-centered work. She uses clear, conversational care to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, and other life shifts. Katrina is based in Georgia and brings ten years of clinical experience to each conversation.

She begins sessions by listening closely to what matters most to the client. From there she and the client set simple, achievable goals and work on skills that can be used between appointments.

Background and approach

Katrina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused tools to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies. Narrative approaches are also part of her toolkit, helping clients reframe difficult experiences and make sense of personal stories. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical steps and real-world changes.

She aims to help people notice progress and adjust plans when needed. Katrina explains her credentials plainly - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and she practices with an emphasis on respect for each person's background. Sessions use accessible language and focus on the client’s immediate needs and next steps.

For those who prefer online options, Katrina offers multiple session formats so therapy can fit into busy days. She works with common concerns like ADHD, relationships, trauma, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk about what matters most and helps them decide the next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses specific exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each client to choose or combine methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy lets sessions fit into busy schedules. Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what feels most manageable. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy alongside family, work, and other commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
