About Ka'Tora

Ka'Tora Dunn is an LPCC and LPC based in Kentucky with six years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, respectful setting where adults and college-aged students can talk about stress, relationships, and major life changes. Her faith informs her approach, and she welcomes people from many backgrounds and beliefs.

Her sessions aim to be gentle and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people make sense of what feels overwhelming. She can support conversations about anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and the practical fallout of life transitions.

Dunn uses several evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to build values-based action. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide conversations about connection and relationship patterns.

Her style balances empathy with challenge when change calls for it. She emphasizes building emotional resilience and clearer communication. She also attends to specific topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and codependency when those themes arise.

Sessions are framed around the person's goals and values. The therapist helps set manageable steps and checks progress along the way. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It suits situations where someone wants clearer direction despite anxious or stuck thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. Some formats may be better for brief skill practice while others suit longer relationship work, so discuss practical scheduling and session length during the match and scheduling steps.
