Background and approach
She emphasizes skills people can practice between appointments. Catherine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques. With these methods she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new responses, and set small, reachable goals.
The work is straightforward and aimed at short-term progress when possible. She has seven years of clinical experience helping people work through family conflict, workplace issues, divorce and separation, midlife transitions, and social anxiety. She also addresses self-harm, self-love, women’s issues, and phobias when they come up in therapy.
Catherine aims to make beginning therapy simple. She supports clients as they take the first steps and stays focused on practical change. People can expect an attentive listener who helps them build skills to cope and move forward.
Online approaches that focus on practical change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social phobia, and stress by breaking problems into manageable parts and practicing new responses. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small steps that lead to noticeable improvements. It is often used when people want quick, practical progress on specific issues like work stress or relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize changing thoughts and behaviors, setting solution-focused goals, or blending both approaches to match the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video fits deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging can provide brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and busy days without traveling.
