About Katrina
Katrina Dolle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She practices in Illinois and focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Katrina aims to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and be heard.
She trained at Aurora University, earning a Master of Social Work in 2000, and has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment, and court and jail settings.
How Katrina works
That breadth of experience shaped how she approaches common struggles like mood disorders, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, and eating or intimacy-related issues. Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - as a core method to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She matches practical strategies to each person's goals and day-to-day life.
Sessions often include concrete steps people can practice between meetings to reduce panic, manage stress, or improve communication. She also helps with caregiver stress, forgiveness work, finding life purpose, and building self-love and self-esteem. Career concerns, social anxiety, and women's issues are other areas she addresses with a straightforward, supportive style.
Katrina believes connection matters most in counseling. She aims to offer warmth and clear feedback while helping people gain movement on stuck problems. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in experience, with attention to what each person needs now.

Online support options
CBT and practical support through online sessions
Katrina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and problems with stress or social fear.She applies CBT in straightforward ways, pairing short home practice tasks with discussion in sessions. This hands-on approach helps when working on communication problems, self-esteem, or coping after loss. Katrina works with each person to choose the approach that matches their goals and day-to-day needs; figuring out the best fit is a collaborative process between therapist and client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face connection when that matters. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
