About Catherine
Catherine Rodriguez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She has three years of professional experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps to help people move forward.
She works with people on relationship and intimacy-related concerns as well as family conflict and parenting strain. Addiction, eating and body image issues, and patterns such as codependency or dependent personality are also areas she addresses.
How Catherine works
She pays attention to how attachment and communication shape everyday struggles. Catherine uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods when it helps. She encourages clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
She also draws on motivational techniques to help people find what matters to them and begin making small changes. Sessions are a collaborative process where the client’s priorities set the pace. Catherine aims to create a space for honest conversation and offers tools people can practice between sessions.
She supports work on impulsivity, jealousy, infidelity, and rebuilding trust after trauma. People who want a therapist who speaks Spanish and prefers clear, actionable steps may find her approach useful. She includes both reflective listening and practical skill-building to address issues like obsessions, phobias, and coping with life transitions.
The focus is on steady progress toward more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It can help with anxiety, depression, obsessions, compulsions, and phobias by teaching practical strategies to test and shift thinking patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values. It is useful for stress, life transitions, and for people who want to act toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She combines listening with concrete exercises and adjusts the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for learning skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, written reflections, or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
