Dr. Katarina Thomas, LMFT

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and motivation. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, grief, and addiction-related struggles.

She aims to make each session a straightforward place to talk. She listens without judgment and helps people put words to difficult feelings.

The work often begins by clarifying what matters most to the person sitting across from her and setting small, practical goals. Dr.

Thomas blends a person-centered attitude with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays close attention to each person’s experience while teaching concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on existential ideas to help clients make sense of life transitions and deeper questions about meaning and choice. Over three decades of practice have given her experience with a wide range of issues, including trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, bipolar and depressive disorders, and intimacy-related challenges.

She also supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships, veteran and first responder stress, and the aftermath of separation or divorce. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

People who want to begin can expect a clear first conversation about goals, practical steps to try between sessions, and ongoing review of progress.
