Catherine Kolleth, LPCC, LMFT

Catherine Kolleth is dually licensed in Ohio as a professional clinical counselor and a marriage and family therapist - LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). She brings more than 12 years of experience working across residential treatment for adolescents, community health settings, substance abuse residential programs, and private practice, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Her clinical work has included support for depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, career difficulties, addictions, and challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals. She has also assisted many people recovering from physical trauma or emotional abuse as they work toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying lives. Catherine’s approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels.

Therapeutic methods are drawn from cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques, systems thinking, client-centered work, and solution-focused strategies, blended as needed to meet each person’s goals. She treats each client as the expert in their own life and partners with them to create individualized treatment plans and achievable goals. Catherine helps clients identify desired changes, find practical ways to put those changes into daily life, and problem-solve obstacles as they arise. She aims to support and empower clients through the often challenging process of change and looks forward to working with those who are ready to take that step.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Catherine uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach helps people clarify values, build self-awareness, and gain confidence when facing relationship, identity, or life-transition concerns.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and to build practical coping skills that transfer to daily life.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques are included when clients need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - these skills can be particularly useful for managing intense feelings, relationship conflicts, or patterns that interfere with goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine works with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists use this kind of collaboration to tailor care rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow clients to access consistent support from a licensed therapist from home, work, or wherever they are most comfortable, while maintaining continuity of care during life changes or scheduling challenges.
