About Katrina

Dr. Katrina Stokes brings 25 years of clinical experience to her Michigan practice, offering focused care for people navigating relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and career concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clients' own expertise about their lives and highlights personal strengths as resources for moving through difficult situations. Her approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in practical strategies that help clients build on what already works for them.

Katrina uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and trauma-focused techniques, combining structured skill-building with empathetic listening. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when clients want to set clear goals and find immediate, workable steps.

Katrina aims to make beginning therapy less daunting by validating the courage it takes to seek help and by working at a pace that fits each person's needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Stokes often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for issues such as anxiety, grief, or relationship stress. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting clients as they draw on their own strengths to find solutions and direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, personal preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and goal-oriented.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods or life transitions, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own location while working on relationship, trauma, grief, or career concerns.
