Cathy Richardson Brown

Cathy Richardson Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who brings long experience to people managing strong emotions like anger. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help clients reduce stress, manage anxiety, and find steadier footing when life feels overwhelming.

She spent many years in child protective services and in psychiatric hospital units early in her career. Cathy also worked in residential settings, on a local crisis team, and at a community health center. That range of settings shaped how she listens and responds in sessions.

In therapy she focuses on what matters to the individual in front of her. Sessions often center on clear goals, practical strategies, and gradual change. She uses client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s concerns and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.

Cathy draws on both professional experience and life roles as a mother and grandmother to offer grounded support. She has worked with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, eating concerns, parenting issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD over the years.

She welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how to get started. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire so scheduling can proceed.

How Cathy’s Methods Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small, practical changes. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that affect daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and following their priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as those priorities become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides what comes next.

Many people find online therapy helps them fit sessions into busy lives, whether by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or easing scheduling across time zones. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapeutic work practical and usable in day-to-day life.
