About Catherine
Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works from New Mexico and speaks English. Her background includes a wide range of concerns from mood disorders and trauma to relationship and addiction-related struggles.
Catherine keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She invites people to talk about what matters most and listens without judgment. The goal is to find practical ways to reduce worry, improve sleep, or ease the effects of a painful loss.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small changes, and practice calming skills that can be used day to day. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those methods fit the work.
Catherine has worked with a broad set of issues across twenty years. Examples include panic attacks, PTSD, chronic pain and illness, addiction, compassion fatigue, and problems with self-esteem and anger. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, or challenges related to sexual orientation and identity.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step plans. People leave with specific strategies to try between meetings. Her style is steady, practical, and collaborative, aimed at helping people make real changes over time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood concerns and focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. It can pair well with CBT techniques for people who feel overwhelmed by worry or stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those tools can be useful when feelings are intense or when someone needs shorter, concrete strategies to cope.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and text or chat can support frequent check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
