Catherine Eccles, LICSW

Catherine Eccles is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts who draws on more than 14 years of direct clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, trauma, and major life transitions. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College and a Master of Social Work from New York University, and has worked in a variety of clinical settings including a secure residential program for adolescent girls, group homes for adults with major mental illness, and outreach services for clients living independently in the community.

Since November 2019 she has offered therapy online, combining practical skill building with empathic listening. Her work focuses on helping clients identify the roots of their difficulties, notice how those patterns show up in day-to-day life, and learn concrete tools that support movement toward clear, achievable goals. At the same time she honors the value of simply talking and being heard when that is what a client needs.

Clients have noted her willingness to help, effective clinical skills, and a healthy sense of humor. As a therapist she emphasizes empathy, highlights individual strengths, and assists clients in developing skills and finding resources to manage lifeâs curve balls. She approaches each relationship with collaboration and a focus on practical steps that fit the clientâs needs and pace.
