About Catherine

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with a background that spans clinical, community, and medical settings. She earned a BA from Emory University in 1999 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2008, and has applied that training in roles such as an outdoor therapeutic program for teens, in-home family counseling, and medical social work within a hospital system.

She has experience working with adolescents, parents, older adults, and whole families, addressing concerns that include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, ADHD, anger regulation, and the effects of abuse and neglect. Her practice also covers grief and loss, chronic health challenges and their impact on mental well-being, family communication and dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Catherine uses an eclectic, strengths-based framework that draws on solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and trauma-informed brief therapy. She treats each person as an individual, tailoring interventions to meet specific needs while highlighting existing strengths and practical strategies. Catherine views counseling as both a place to address current struggles and a space to build toward the life a person envisions, offering support for goals such as improving communication, coping with major life changes, and managing mood or stress-related concerns.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Catherine often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical goals and small, actionable steps to create change, making it useful for coping with life transitions, improving communication, and addressing relationship or family concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also used when past traumatic experiences affect daily functioning; it centers on processing trauma symptoms and building skills for safety, grounding, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods that fit the individual rather than applying a single approach to everyone. This collaborative planning helps shape a treatment path that feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Catherine can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options allow consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while adapting to each person’s day-to-day life.
