About Katarina
Dr. Katarina Thomas is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and common life challenges such as self-esteem, career questions, grief, and recovery from trauma. She practices Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy.
Dr. Thomas works in a straightforward, conversational way. She listens to what a person brings and helps name the patterns that maintain distress. Sessions include talking through difficulties, identifying practical steps, and trying small changes between meetings. She encourages clear goals and regular review of progress.
Her approach draws from CBT when people want tools to manage anxiety or mood, using thought and behavior strategies to reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she creates space for honest expression and for people to set their own priorities. Existential Therapy is used when clients bring questions about meaning, choice, or life transitions.
People come for a wide range of concerns, including addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, panic, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment-related problems such as abandonment, commitment, and control issues. Dr. Thomas has long experience helping those coping with divorce, family-of-origin wounds, and veteran or first responder stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow California practice standards. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online work
Dr. Thomas draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice small, measurable changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to describe concerns and set priorities while the therapist listens and reflects. Existential Therapy helps when clients bring questions about meaning, values, choice, or major life transitions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote meetings help maintain continuity during life changes, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to match a persons schedule and therapeutic aims.
