She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and the everyday pressures that make life feel overwhelming.

Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that cause distress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Catherine draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities in the room. These approaches are practical and focused on what a person wants to improve. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear in her work when clients want tools for stress, sleep concerns, or anger.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs clarity about goals like career moves or lifestyle shifts. The aim is to build small, achievable steps toward better days. Her background includes long-term clinical work with individuals facing depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, and workplace issues.
She also supports people dealing with separation, domestic violence histories, obsessive or compulsive symptoms, panic, and seasonal mood changes. Catherine meets people where they are and helps them move forward at their own pace.
Approach-driven care via online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on following the person's lead and helping them name what matters most. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps prioritize issues you want to tackle, such as anxiety, parenting stress, or career decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood concerns and includes concrete exercises you can try between sessions.
Mindfulness strategies teach simple ways to notice stress and calm the nervous system. These techniques can improve sleep, reduce rumination, and help with anger or seasonal mood changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and tailor methods to your goals, needs, and preferences so the plan fits your life. This collaborative process helps clarify which tools to emphasize over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow fuller interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps maintain progress between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and flexible for a busy life.
