Dr. Katrina Stokes, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Katrina

Dr. Katrina Stokes greets people with a calm, practical approach. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and career-related stress.

She encourages parents and caregivers to talk about real problems in everyday language. Her style is straightforward and strengths-based, not judgmental. Katrina is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Michigan.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings that perspective into sessions.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people decide what changes feel manageable. Sessions aim to build on what already works in a person or family. Her work includes support for first responders, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues around infidelity.

She mixes practical techniques with careful listening, which can help when families face big transitions or painful memories. Katrina uses methods that encourage small, concrete steps toward change. She names strengths and options so people can choose what fits their lives.

Parents often appreciate clear tools they can try between visits. Katrina frames goals plainly and checks progress along the way. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that first step takes courage.

She helps clients move at a pace that feels safe while still working toward meaningful improvements. The focus remains on usable strategies and steady support.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit family life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into manageable parts. It gives clear, practical tools for changing patterns that affect relationships and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She may combine methods or adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and grounded in everyday life.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, work shifts, or caregiving. It also allows for brief check-ins and homework support between scheduled meetings, helping clients try new strategies in real time.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
