Background and approach

Sessions are intended to feel direct and supportive rather than overly technical. Clients often bring concerns such as family conflict, codependency, or issues around trust and infidelity. She also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, body image struggles, eating and food-related issues, and phobias.

Catherine listens for what matters most and helps people break problems into manageable parts. Her methods draw from cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment principles, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. That mix is used to build new skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and clarify values and goals.

Catherine focuses on tools that can be practiced in daily life. Therapy with her is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. She helps people set realistic goals and tracks progress along the way.

For many clients the work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase confidence in making changes.

How Catherine’s Approaches Translate Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. Online sessions with this focus help people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters, and practice small changes that add up over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. That work often involves short exercises to try between meetings and focused problem-solving during sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own expertise about their life; it creates space for people to name priorities and move at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than forcing one technique. She checks in and adjusts the plan as the work progresses so goals remain practical and achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets someone share thoughts between scheduled meetings. These options add flexibility for fitting therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
