About Catherine

She speaks plainly about real-world problems and focuses on clear steps that can be tried right away. Catherine draws on 18 years in the mental health field and works to help clients build systems that support follow-through and clearer communication.
Her work centers on immediate, usable strategies rather than long stretches of analysis.
How Catherine works
Sessions often look like active coaching - setting small goals, experimenting with routines, and adjusting what isn’t working. Catherine helps people turn insight into habits that reduce daily friction and increase momentum. She brings program leadership and mentorship experience to her clinical practice.
That background shapes how she organizes care and selects interventions that are practical and evidence-informed. Catherine holds an LCSW and has worked across independent practice and larger mental health programs. Catherine uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.
She explains tools simply and focuses on what will fit someone’s life. People can expect to build flexible goals, improve self-awareness, and create small systems that promote follow-through. Catherine aims to help clients move from self-doubt toward greater self-trust through steady, manageable changes.

Online support options
Online approaches that emphasize action and clarity
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship or life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and workplace or social worries. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify what someone truly wants and to strengthen motivation for change; it pairs well with goal-focused work like building routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and motivational techniques and adjusting direction as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone keep momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to apply new strategies in real time.
