Katrina Dumas, LPC

Katrina Dumas is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, collaborative methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on a range of approaches to meet each person where they are and find what works next.

She has 10 years of experience working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, grief, bipolar disorder, and relationship or family difficulties. Katrina keeps language plain and focuses on small, doable steps that make daily life easier.

Sessions start with listening to the story a person brings. Katrina then works with them to set clear goals and try strategies that fit their routine. These might include changing unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new coping skills, or testing different ways of handling conflict and stress.

Her approach centers on respect for each person's identity and background. She aims to create an environment where people feel heard and can examine what matters most to them. Progress is paced to the individual's needs rather than a fixed timeline.

Katrina offers a mix of practical problem solving and openness to personal meaning. That combination helps people build resilience and clearer ways of moving forward. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English, including with international clients when appropriate.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment, supports a person's sense of self, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help when someone needs acceptance and a steady presence while they sort through emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, then try methods that fit. Decisions are made together so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into busy days, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Those options make it easier to keep therapy steady amid work, school, or family responsibilities.
