About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is a licensed professional clinical counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist in Ohio. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. Catherine focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and major life changes.
She uses clear, practical methods and listens carefully so each person feels heard. Before independent practice, Catherine worked in adolescent residential treatment, community mental health, and substance abuse residential care.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her wide experience with trauma, emotional abuse, grief, and LGBTQ concerns. She has also supported people facing parenting stress, career challenges, and issues tied to intimacy and alternative sex culture. In sessions she blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior strategies.
She also draws on systems-oriented ideas and elements of the Gottman Method where relationship work is needed. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - the client helps set goals and Catherine offers practical steps to reach them. People who work with her can expect a warm, direct style that focuses on skill-building and problem solving.
She helps clients identify small, manageable changes and figure out how to fit them into daily life. Catherine aims to empower people to handle stressors more effectively and move toward healthier routines. She offers therapy in English and practices from Ohio.
Sessions are offered through a mix of live and text-based formats to match different needs and schedules.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's own goals. It helps people who need a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through stress, grief, relationship pain, or identity concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions in daily life.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those techniques are helpful when stress, anger, or relationship conflict feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust plans together based on what helps. Clients often combine tools from more than one approach to get practical results.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video call work is close to an in-person session and suits longer therapy work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and offer a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter updates, coaching-style check-ins, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
