About Catherine
Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on anxiety and related challenges. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, mood concerns, and life transitions. She uses approaches that help people solve problems and make small, useful changes.
Catherine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that make anxiety and depression worse.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused and Client-Centered techniques to build on strengths and set realistic goals. Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs, in-home counseling, and hospital social work. Those roles gave her experience with grief, trauma, substance concerns, chronic illness, and family communication.
She has four years of clinical experience since earning her social work credentials. In sessions she emphasizes clear steps and practical skills. People can expect to talk through what is happening now, try strategies for coping, and agree on small goals to practice between sessions.
She pays attention to how health conditions, caregiving, and family roles affect mood and stress. Catherine works with a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, anger, and addiction-related problems. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and end-of-life matters.
Her training is listed as LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through the site’s scheduling process.
Approaches that translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood issues and gives clients concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports people as they decide what changes to try and which values to follow.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying skill-based CBT exercises, brief solution-focused steps, or trauma-informed strategies depending on the concern.
Online formats make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection when typing feels more comfortable. These options support continuity and flexibility while working toward relief from anxiety and related issues.
