About Catherine

Catherine centers sessions on active listening and unconditional positive regard. She believes validation and steady support help people regain a sense of control.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to focus on practical next steps that fit daily life. She draws on client-centered techniques to meet each person where they are. That means the pace and topics in session follow the client’s needs rather than a fixed agenda.
Catherine also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. Her background includes work with addictions and co-occurring disorders, so she is familiar with the challenges of relapse, cravings, and managing mood shifts alongside substance concerns. She helps people talk through triggers, coping strategies, and safer choices.
Catherine aims to help people reduce panic and social anxiety, manage impulsivity, and build steadier routines for mood and focus. She also supports those facing parenting stress, attachment issues, and the fallout from trauma. Sessions are practical, straightforward, and geared toward things people can try between meetings.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy is about following the person's lead, offering empathy, and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening closely and adapting topics and pace to what the person brings that day. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. In an online setting DBT work often mixes conversation with practice of skills and short exercises people can use between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods feel most helpful based on goals and current needs. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and skill practice more convenient during a busy week. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or daily life while keeping the focus on practical coping and growth.
