How Cathy works
Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and present-moment awareness. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Cathy listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
She avoids jargon and focuses on tools people can use between sessions to cope with cravings, panic, low mood, or relationship strain. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, drug and alcohol addiction, and women's issues. Cathy draws on decades of practice to tailor approaches to each person's situation.
People who want a steady, experienced counselor who uses practical methods tend to find her approach helpful. Cathy encourages small, achievable changes and regular check-ins to track progress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at clearer thinking and calmer days.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what they hear, and helps people decide what to work on next. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cathy will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect with licensed professionals. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation and use visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or times when writing feels more comfortable.
These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and fit counseling into a busy life.
