Background and approach
Her style is honest and encouraging. She speaks plainly and helps clients name problems and try new ways of coping. She combines behavioral techniques with problem-solving skills people can use between sessions.

People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented conversations tend to fit well with her approach. Catherine adapts the pace based on each person's needs and focuses on skills that can be practiced in daily life. She works online with adults in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify goals and values in simple language. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. These methods work well for stress, panic symptoms, anxiety, and mood concerns because they produce concrete tools clients can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences in the first sessions and recommend what to try first. That plan can change as progress is made, with the client and therapist deciding together on techniques and pacing.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for quick updates, short coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
