About Katarina
Dr. Katarina Thomas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues that affect self-esteem and motivation. She aims to make the first step feel more manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.
In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Conversations are grounded in real life. The work often looks like identifying small changes, testing new behaviors, and noticing what helps day to day.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with mood disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, addictions, grief, and burnout from caregiving or demanding jobs. She also addresses attachment concerns such as abandonment, commitment and control issues. This experience informs practical steps for coping and clearer decision making.
Dr. Thomas uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and Existential Therapy to weigh values and life choices. She draws on these approaches to tailor the work to a person’s goals.
Sessions are conducted in English from her California practice. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
