About Catherine
Catherine Fuller welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She is a California psychologist with 40 years of experience who listens to personal stories and helps sort through painful feelings. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people seeking relief and clearer direction.
She focuses on common struggles such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career stress, and mood concerns. Catherine also helps with issues that often sit underneath these problems - attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
How Catherine works
She works with parents and caregivers on stress related to caregiving and life transitions. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings. Catherine asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients make sense of patterns that keep causing pain.
She then helps people practice different ways of responding so life feels more manageable. Her long experience includes supporting people through divorce and separation, financial stress, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and recovery from post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to communication and control issues, impulsivity, and finding a sense of life purpose.
Catherine treats people with respect and sensitivity. She aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can talk honestly and try new approaches to old problems. Her goal is to help people feel more confident and better able to handle whatever comes next.

Approaches that guide online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques typically focus on understanding patterns and practicing new responses. One common approach helps people unpack how past experiences shape current reactions and then builds step-by-step skills to reduce distress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and relationship worries.Another practical technique emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. People learn to notice automatic negative thoughts, try different behaviors, and see what changes. This method often helps with low self-esteem, mood concerns, and motivation issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals and preferences, explain options in plain terms, and adjust methods as progress is made. Together they decide what feels most helpful and tweak the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
