About Catherine
Catherine Mishoe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
Catherine is comfortable talking about alternative sexual lifestyles, including BDSM and kink, and treats those topics as normal aspects of a person’s life. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can bring up both kink-related and non-kink concerns without needing to explain terminology or feel embarrassed.
How Catherine works
Building trust and rapport is a priority in early sessions. Her style is caring and interactive. She listens, offers practical tools, and adjusts techniques to fit each person’s goals.
People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and guided reflection to address problems like communication trouble, commitment concerns, low self-esteem, or life transitions. Catherine uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage difficult emotions. She also draws on emotion-focused and solution-focused ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client. Many people come to her for parenting stress, career worries, or help with ADHD symptoms. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image struggles, codependency, abandonment or attachment issues.
Catherine encourages steady, practical steps toward stronger coping and healthier relationships.

Approaches That Work Online and In Conversation
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday struggles because it focuses on practical skills and gradual change.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the persons experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, offers empathy, and supports the person in finding their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort out feelings and values.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand attachment needs, improve communication, and build stronger bonds when relationship distress is present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will help figure out which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps people organize thoughts. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
