About Catherine
Catherine Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Pennsylvania. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, recovering from trauma, or struggling with relationships and self-esteem. Catherine uses straightforward, practical work in sessions so clients can make changes that matter in daily life.
She focuses on problems like relationship conflict, family issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and the stress of caregiving. She also supports people dealing with codependency, problems with control, guilt, shame, and impulsive behaviors.
How Catherine works
Sessions aim to clarify patterns and build clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. Catherine draws from several approaches that emphasize feelings, behavior, and connection. She brings methods that teach new skills, encourage emotional awareness, and help couples improve how they argue and reconnect.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her experience includes four years practicing as an LMFT in Pennsylvania. She combines structured exercises with moments to reflect on personal values and strengths.
This mix helps people take practical steps right away while also addressing deeper relationship patterns. Catherine frames therapy around realistic goals. That might mean learning tools to manage anxiety, practicing conversations that go differently, or working through painful events from the past.
She supports clients in finding clearer choices and stronger self-advocacy.

Online support options
Online approaches for relationships and emotional skills
Catherine uses a mix of therapies that translate well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that match those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, low self-worth, and decisions about relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and breaking impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether to emphasize value-driven work, skill training, or emotion-focused connection.
Online therapy can fit into busy lives because it offers several formats. Video calls let people see one another and practice new ways of interacting. Phone sessions work well for those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone needs a flexible option during a break at work. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try approaches that suit each person’s needs.
