Background and approach

She offers a calm, respectful manner and aims to make the first steps feel doable rather than overwhelming. In sessions she blends evidence-based tools with an open, listening approach. Catherine draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based methods to build tolerance for difficult feelings.

She also uses mindfulness to help people notice patterns in thought and body response. Many people come to her for relationship or family concerns, intimacy-related worries, low self-esteem, or changes like career transitions. She also supports those dealing with eating and body image issues, addiction-related struggles, obsessive thoughts, and trauma histories.

Her work often includes coaching elements to help clients set and reach practical goals. Catherine aims to make therapy collaborative and approachable. She helps clients set focused steps and checks progress along the way.

Conversations are paced to each person's comfort while keeping attention on real-world change.

Evidence-based approaches for online anxiety care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and move toward the life they value. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and getting past unhelpful patterns in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and mood changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed insight and growth.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Catherine treats approach choice as a collaboration and will explore what feels most helpful based on each person's goals, preferences, and comfort. Sessions may blend ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered listening to match what a client needs in the moment.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during a break at work. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people keep therapy going around busy schedules and changing life demands.
