About Catherine
Catherine Fuller is a California psychologist with four decades of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life changes. Her manner is direct and respectful so conversations stay focused and clear.
She listens for the story behind the distress and helps clients name what feels most painful. That could be anxiety, low self-esteem, trouble at work, or the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make sense of feelings and to find practical steps forward. Catherine has long experience addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and difficulties with communication and control. She also works with people facing divorce or separation, financial strain, or questions about life purpose.
Her practice includes mood struggles, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and issues around self-love. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building coping skills. Catherine emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while offering clear guidance and tools people can use between sessions.
People who choose her often want to talk through a confusing time and leave with concrete steps to try. She invites clients to bring their whole story and to work together on realistic goals and changes.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more useful ones; this helps reduce anxiety and improves daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns so people can respond differently to feelings of abandonment, isolation, or communication breakdowns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, try different techniques when needed, and together determine what feels most helpful. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, day-to-day reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
