About Caterina
Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. She is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 23 years of experience. Cathe writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person's immediate needs.
Her sessions aim to identify small, useful changes that make daily life easier. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, find motivation, and set clear steps forward.
How Caterina works
This approach is direct and action-oriented, but still respectful of how hard change can feel. Cathe has long experience supporting people who have faced abuse, neglect, chronic illness, and complicated family situations. She also helps with parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, and issues around abandonment, attachment, and blended families.
She draws on practical strategies that fit each person's situation. Sessions move at a pace the person can manage. Cathe uses questions, reflection, and short exercises to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
She focuses on what is useful now and on building skills for the future. People meet with her by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule appointments with her according to availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on concrete steps you can try between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is often used when motivation feels unclear or inconsistent and supports commitment to small goals. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is working and on building simple, achievable steps toward a preferred future rather than dwelling on the problem.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support between appointments, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help fit therapy into a busy life.
