About Catherine
Catherine Denham is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She practices in Florida and uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Her manner is warm and attentive, and she aims to make sessions feel understandable and manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
She focuses on everyday struggles like parenting strain, relationship conflict, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Catherine also helps people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and issues related to attachment or abandonment. Her background includes work in outpatient, inpatient, school-based, in-home, and telehealth settings. In sessions she uses methods that keep the person at the center of the work.
She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Dialectical strategies are used when people need better emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Catherine aims to help people find their voice and practical steps forward.
She focuses on clear goals, small experiments between sessions, and building skills that fit daily life. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort. For parents reading on a phone, Catherine offers flexible online options including video, phone, chat, and text messaging.
She guides each person through the first steps and works with clients to pick an approach that matches their goals and schedule.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in attachment and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more reliable. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective first, through empathetic listening and reflection. It helps people feel heard and explore what matters to them without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build new habits.Catherine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That shared process makes it easier to use tools that actually fit someone’s day-to-day life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video work lets people read facial cues and practice new responses in real time. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing brief check-ins, reminders, and skill coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other commitments.
