About Catherine
Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people manage life’s hard moments. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in New Mexico. Catherine focuses on practical support and steady guidance rather than clinical jargon.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting strain, sleep problems, and self-esteem. People bring career pressures, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, or ADHD-related challenges to appointments as well.
How Catherine works
Catherine combines several straightforward approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered conversations to listen and build trust. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are available when clients want tools for daily coping and change. Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable goals and down-to-earth skills. Catherine aims to make sessions feel like a calm, nonjudgmental space where someone can talk things through and try new ways of coping.
She encourages small steps that lead to real change over time. Her background includes work with people facing chronic pain or illness, first responder and veteran concerns, and issues stemming from family of origin or domestic violence. Catherine offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options for therapy, and she works in English only.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and then practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. It tends to be structured and goal-focused, which can be useful for sleep issues, panic, and mood symptoms.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT exercises teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can use in crisis moments or to steady ongoing mood swings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress and life circumstances change.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when conversations benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to get consistent care around a busy life.
