Background and approach
Cathy draws from client-centered work to build trust and from cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to calm the body and mind. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s goals.
Many clients come with issues tied to family of origin, codependency, abandonment, or relationship communication problems. Cathy also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, guilt, shame, isolation, and women’s issues. She focuses on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Her style is steady and practical. She aims to help people feel more capable of handling daily stress and to build healthier patterns. Cathy encourages people to take the next step when they are ready and offers a clear process to begin.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with the person, not a set agenda. The therapist listens closely and follows whatever feels most important to the client, which helps build trust and clarity about next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits over time.
Mindfulness therapy teaches brief practices to notice the body and mind. These techniques help lower stress and create space between reactions and choices, which can be useful for anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or an option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work well for shorter, flexible interactions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across different locations.
