About Catherine

She brings two decades of experience to each session and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Catherine holds an LMHP credential and practices in Nebraska, speaking English.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. Catherine uses a client-centered stance that listens first and then guides next.
How Catherine works
She mixes that with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and with acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and action. Sessions often focus on simple, everyday skills. Catherine teaches tools for handling panic, low mood, social anxiety, and caregiving stress.
She also addresses issues like codependency, control struggles, guilt and shame, and adjustment after divorce or separation. Catherine works with practical goals. She may suggest mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, behavioral steps to build confidence, or emotion-focused work to repair a strained relationship.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People will find a steady, straightforward approach. Catherine aims to help clients find clearer priorities, better coping habits, and more manageable daily routines.
Her sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.

Online support options
Therapy approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values and commitment matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, and anger management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and working with emotions to improve close relationships and to process hurt and loss. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and text messaging are useful for quick support, homework check-ins, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.Start online instead of waiting
