About Catherine

Catherine Sechrist is a licensed counselor practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. She brings a flexible, person-centered stance to therapy and adapts her methods to fit each person's needs rather than relying on a single model. Catherine works from a strength-based perspective to build rapport and supports clients as a collaborative partner on their path toward greater well-being and potential. She holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and the LPMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, reflecting her training and licensure in counseling.

Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, grief, and navigating life changes, and she has experience supporting teens who are coping with bullying, body image concerns, and anxiety. Catherine draws on a variety of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person, helping them develop practical coping strategies, clarify goals, and make sustainable changes. Her work is grounded in respect for each individual story and a commitment to walking alongside clients as they pursue healthier patterns and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Catherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. ACT helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that lets individuals explore their experience and find their own solutions. CBT provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites client input to shape a treatment plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving, and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or changing. Catherine combines these formats with her therapeutic tools to provide accessible, practical support for everyday challenges.
