About Catherine
Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on four years of professional experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and life changes. Catherine writes in a clear, down-to-earth way and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can try right away.
She uses a strengths-based outlook and tailors sessions to each person's needs. That means she listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to reduce daily stress. Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs, in-home counseling, and medical social work in a hospital system. Those roles involved supporting people through mood disorders, substance concerns, trauma and abuse, and chronic health challenges.
This variety shaped a flexible approach to common family and personal struggles. In sessions she blends solution-focused tools and cognitive behavioral techniques with trauma-informed ideas. Conversations typically lead to concrete strategies to manage symptoms or handle specific situations.
She encourages clients to notice strengths and build routines that fit their lives. Parents who are worried about behavior, attention, or family communication will find straightforward guidance and steps to try between meetings. Catherine aims to help people make steady progress toward the life they want, one small change at a time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist creates space to hear what matters most and then works with the client to set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often includes short experiments and practical homework that fit into daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilizing symptoms and building skills to manage distress, and it can be used alongside other approaches when past events affect current functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She can adjust tools and pacing as sessions reveal what works best, so people feel involved in shaping their care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and working through skill exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family schedules, work breaks, or times when leaving home is difficult.
