Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker with deep experience helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and major life changes.
Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find workable steps forward.

Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the person, naming patterns that cause pain, and building small skills that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
The tone is compassionate and nonjudgmental while keeping goals clear. Catherine uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to fit the person in front of her. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful feelings without getting stuck in them. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for a person’s own values and choices. Her background includes extensive work with grief, addiction, and trauma recovery, and she supports people facing family and intimacy-related struggles.
She also has experience with aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and the needs of veterans and armed forces issues. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in Missouri while also accepting international clients. Catherine holds the LCSW credential in Missouri and combines long experience with practical tools to help people move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that reflect their values. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the person’s own goals, creating a space where clients can reflect and decide what matters to them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. That might mean trying CBT tools for immediate symptom relief, using ACT to clarify values, or spending time in client-centered conversation to build trust before introducing skills.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while fitting into daily life.
