About Katina
Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, mood concerns, and trauma. She greets each person with respect and compassion, and she adjusts conversations to meet individual needs.
Dr. Hill-Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience in Florida. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, parenting strain, and anger.
She also supports people coping with attachment wounds, abandonment, guilt, shame, and challenges linked to mood disorders.
Background and approach
The work often centers on clear goals and practical steps to feel steadier in day-to-day life. Her approach draws from Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix lets clients tell their story, notice unhelpful patterns, and try new behaviors between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at things clients can practice outside the room. Dr. Hill-Thompson has helped people navigate intimacy issues, forgiveness, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
She also brings experience supporting parents and young adults as they face life transitions. She emphasizes building self-compassion and stronger self-regard over time. People who reach out can expect a collaborative plan that fits their situation.
She frames therapy as a team effort - the client sets goals and she offers tools and support. The work moves at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Katina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, committed actions that match what matters most and can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Narrative Therapy emphasizes the stories people tell about themselves. By retelling and reworking those stories, clients can separate themselves from problems and create new possibilities for relationships and identity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist work together to choose methods that match needs, pace, and preferences rather than assuming one path fits everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people connect face to face when needed, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style prompts, or conversations when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
