About Catherine
She uses a tailored, conversational approach. Sessions center on what matters most to each person and on small, practical steps that fit daily life. Catherine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to make therapy goal-oriented and skills-based.
Her work often focuses on short-term strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress, along with ways to improve communication in relationships and family settings. She also supports clients through transitions such as divorce, midlife shifts, workplace difficulties, and changes at home.
Catherine emphasizes collaboration when planning treatment. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps clients try concrete techniques and track what works. That process helps shape a plan a person can use between appointments.
People who come to her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth tone and a focus on real-life solutions. She encourages small, steady changes and offers ongoing support while clients adjust to new circumstances.
How her approaches shape online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills like thought records and behavioral experiments.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what a person wants to change and identifies small, practical steps to move toward that goal. It concentrates on strengths and what is already working, which can make progress feel manageable and immediate.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. If something isn’t helpful, adjustments are made so the work fits the person’s life.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to sessions for discussion.
