About Katrina
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of experience, Dr. Katrina Stokes helps people work through relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and career concerns. She frames the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. She encourages people who are taking the first step toward therapy and emphasizes practical work in sessions.
Her approach centers on clear, focused conversations. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
Trauma-focused work is offered when needed, with attention to safety and pacing so the person sets the tempo. Solution-focused strategies are used to highlight steps that lead to quick, usable changes. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change when ambivalence is present.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Katrina helps people set small, measurable goals and reviews progress each visit. She often combines talking, short exercises, and straightforward homework to keep work moving forward between sessions.
Her experience includes work with first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and infidelity concerns. People can expect a direct, respectful approach that names problems and looks for concrete ways to address them.

How her therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the person. In remote sessions this looks like focused conversation to clarify concerns, values, and priorities so goals are clear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. In an online setting CBT can include brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between visits. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. The therapist asks questions that help the person find their own reasons to move forward and build momentum.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Katrina will talk through methods and help pick what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She revisits the plan as work progresses and adjusts methods if something isn’t helping.
The logistics of online care should be confirmed before booking, since session formats are not specified here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the exact session options available so you know which formats are offered and how they fit into your routine.
