She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and steady support so clients can build practical skills and maintain progress over time. Catherine holds the LCPC credential, which indicates she is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and qualified to provide psychotherapy and behavioral health services.

Her approach combines empathy with evidence-informed techniques to help clients explore their values, reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, and develop tools for long-term coping. Catherine focuses on meeting each person where they are and partnering with them to identify sustainable steps forward.

Client-Centered and DBT-Informed Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's self-directed growth. This approach is useful for people who need validation, clearer self-understanding, and support in making meaningful life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors - tools that can help with problems like emotion dysregulation, substance use, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Catherine works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time so the care fits the person rather than the person fitting the method. This partnership helps ensure treatment stays relevant and effective as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, access support from home or work, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances shift, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide structured, goal-oriented treatment.
