About Katarina
Dr. Katarina Thomas is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, and concerns about self esteem and confidence. Her approach is grounded in building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about what matters most to them.
She focuses on practical conversation and gentle guidance. Sessions look at patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also helps people sort through grief, trauma, issues around intimacy, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Counseling can include planning small steps to try between meetings and checking what works.
Dr. Thomas combines client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and an existential perspective. That means she listens for your priorities, helps challenge unhelpful thoughts, and invites reflection about values and meaning. The mix of approaches is adjusted to each person’s needs.
She often addresses specific concerns such as panic attacks, mood disorders, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction-related struggles, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, forgiveness and guilt, first responder and veteran matters, and relationship styles like non-monogamy.
People who come to her usually want a practical, steady guide through change. She works at a calm pace and supports clients in taking steps they choose. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
