Catherine Rodriguez, LMHC

Catherine Rodriguez is a New York licensed clinician with three years of professional experience. She holds the LMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and has worked with people coping with stress and high anxiety, relationship concerns affecting women, family conflicts, and intimacy-related issues.

Catherine approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries strengths that can be used to address life’s challenges. She emphasizes the courage involved in seeking a more fulfilling and happier life and treats those first steps toward change as important milestones.

In sessions she focuses on supporting and empowering clients as they explore goals, build on existing resources, and develop practical ways to move forward. Her work centers on helping people feel seen and capable as they navigate difficult moments and pursue meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to coexist with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships and life direction.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the core of the work, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic stance that helps people feel heard and supported as they explore intimate and family concerns. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, confidence, and stronger communication in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often effective for anxiety, mood challenges, and managing stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in consistent, ongoing work with licensed professionals while choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable.
