About Catherine
Catherine "Caitie" Mahaney is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and the unique strains of parenting and compassion fatigue. Caitie meets people where they are and aims for practical, manageable steps rather than overly technical talk.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic space. That means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's needs and pace.
Background and approach
She also uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Caitie has worked with a broad range of concerns including attachment struggles, communication problems, workplace stress, and issues that affect young adults and women. She also supports caregivers and people facing intellectual disability or autism-related questions, using approaches tailored to each situation.
Sessions focus on concrete goals like reducing worry, improving daily routines, or strengthening relationships with others. She emphasizes simple tools people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more able to handle life’s demands. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who want to start pick the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship in which the person decides the pace and goals. This approach helps when people need empathy, reflection, and a steady presence as they sort out stress and family or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. It is useful for managing worry, improving sleep and routines, and practicing small behavior changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions are focused and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit help into a busy schedule. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick updates and ongoing contact between visits. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or school commitments.
