She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, respectful approach to sessions. Catherine focuses on practical steps people can take to manage anger and other concerns.

Catherine began her career in a residential program for adolescents and later worked in community health care and substance abuse residential treatment.

Her clients have included people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting problems, career stress, addictions, and LGBT-related concerns.

Her working style blends client-centered care with cognitive and behavioral tools. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, the Gottman Method for relationships, and mindfulness techniques depending on a person's goals. Catherine focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps her clients can use between sessions.

She helps people sort through family of origin issues, communication and commitment problems, jealousy, infidelity, and grief. She also supports those coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, and body image or intimacy-related concerns. When substance use or addiction is involved, she draws on past residential and community treatment experience.

Catherine encourages collaboration on treatment planning, inviting clients to lead with what matters most to them. She emphasizes problem solving and skill-building so changes feel achievable. To begin, she asks people to identify what they want to change and then works with them to make a plan.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. It is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching specific skills and homework exercises.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. This approach helps people feel understood and is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean combining strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and let people check in between work or family obligations.
