About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and anger. Katrina also supports people dealing with parenting stress, eating concerns, mood disorders, and questions about identity and intimacy.
She trained for a Master of Social Work at Aurora University and has provided care across hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential programs, and court or jail settings. That background informs a practical, no-nonsense approach to everyday problems. Katrina draws on evidence-based methods to address patterns that keep people stuck.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Clients can expect straightforward discussion and concrete exercises aimed at reducing distress and improving coping.
Katrina emphasizes the value of a reliable, steady therapeutic relationship. She listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns in relationships, mood, and stress response. That attention often makes it easier to try small changes and measure results.
Her work covers a wide range of life concerns, from panic attacks and low self-esteem to caregiver stress and career frustration. People come for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, and with the thoughts and habits that feed resentment. Katrina asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.
How sessions work
How CBT shapes online sessions and what to expect
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts that increase stress and teaching practical skills to change them. For things like panic attacks, anxiety, anger, and depression, CBT breaks problems into steps you can work on between sessions using worksheets and small experiments.She also brings a skills-based approach to managing anger and relationship patterns. That means noticing triggers, testing different responses, and practicing new communication habits so interactions feel less reactive and more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and daily life. That process can include trying different tools and tracking what helps over several sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt homework, worksheets, and in-session practice to suit how you meet, so the work stays practical and tied to real-life situations.
