Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson, LCSW

Dr. Katina Hill-Thompson is a Florida-licensed social worker who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and communication. Her approach is practical and respectful, with sessions tailored to each person’s situation.

With 22 years of experience, Dr. Hill-Thompson draws on several well-known methods to support change. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She also employs Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.

Her style is client-centered, which means conversations are shaped around the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be introduced to manage strong emotions and build coping tools.

She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include abandonment, family of origin issues, communication problems, and forgiveness work.

Dr. Hill-Thompson aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients can set goals and practice real-life changes. She recognizes taking the first step can be hard and seeks to make the process clearer and more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Hill-Thompson draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on actions rather than just changing feelings.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeating dynamics and practice different ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what works for the client. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be changed when needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes it possible to keep sessions consistent across locations when international arrangements apply. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to a remote setting by using exercises, worksheets, and practical skill practice during sessions.
