About Katina
Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses issues such as parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her approach blends practical therapy methods so conversations stay focused and useful. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. Sessions typically center on clearer communication, managing overwhelming feelings, and making small behavior changes that feel manageable.
Dr. Hill-Thompson also pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the particular pressures many women and young adults face. She includes coaching elements when helpful to set goals and track progress. She frames forgiveness and self-love as skills people can practice rather than instant outcomes.
Over two decades of work has included supporting people through life changes and mood instability, including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder issues when they are part of the picture. She speaks English and accepts international clients. Practical matters like cost and session structure depend on where someone is located and on the subscription plan used.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for persistent guilt or shame that keeps someone from moving forward. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and how they affect current trust and closeness; it helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That way the process stays collaborative and adjustments can be made as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on relationships and mood into everyday life because they reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Shorter check-ins or longer sessions can be arranged to match client needs, and some people prefer not having to be on camera while others find video most helpful. These practical choices help therapy fit into routines without promising a particular service.
