About Catherine
Catherine works with people facing depression, anxiety, addictions including drug and alcohol concerns, relationship and family difficulties, domestic violence recovery, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports clients coping with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting and caregiver stress, and the many transitions that accompany career changes, aging, and blended family dynamics.
Her therapeutic style centers on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions, deepen self-understanding, and develop healthier coping strategies. Catherine emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, helping people identify strengths, process past experiences, and set realistic goals for meaningful change. As an LPC, she combines clinical knowledge with compassion to guide adults through relationship struggles, substance-related concerns, and life-stage adjustments toward greater resilience and emotional balance.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be particularly helpful for people struggling with anxiety, depression, persistent avoidance, or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It provides practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and for building more effective coping skills.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach supports emotional processing, self-esteem work, and growth during relationship or identity challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and reviews progress with clients to ensure the fit feels right.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in regular care from locations that work best for them, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support during life changes.
