About Catherine
Catherine Pither helps people who are struggling after traumatic events or loss. She focuses on easing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unresolved grief so people can find steadier ground. Catherine works in a calm, approachable way and keeps language simple and clear for parents reading on a phone.
She uses what people bring to the room as a starting point. Sessions emphasize listening, naming feelings, and building small steps toward better coping.
How Catherine works
Catherine blends client-centered care with emotion-focused methods to help people understand patterns in relationships and attachment. Mindfulness tools are used to teach short, practical strategies for calming the body and reducing overwhelm. Narrative techniques help people reframe stories they tell themselves about loss or shame.
Solution-focused work supports setting specific, realistic goals and tracking progress between sessions. Catherine has a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and six years of clinical experience. She practices from Connecticut and conducts sessions in English.
She also draws on her own experience with grief to offer an empathic perspective without directing how someone must feel. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career changes. Catherine also helps with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image, and coping after separation or violence.
People begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session. Catherine aims to create a steady, collaborative pace so people can rebuild confidence and move forward.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Catherine often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful interaction patterns and attachment responses. EFT is useful when relationship hurts, abandonment feelings, or intimacy struggles are part of the concern. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple, moment-by-moment skills for calming the body and managing intrusive thoughts, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so sessions match the person’s pace and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client see facial expressions and work through emotions together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, and tracking small steps between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
