About Catherine
Catherine Duthie is a licensed clinician with 18 years of experience helping people find practical ways to change difficult behaviors and cope with life stress. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and practices from Maine, offering a calm, down-to-earth approach. Catherine focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She listens first to understand a person's history and current challenges. Catherine uses helpful tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and from Motivational Interviewing to build the drive to change.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so people can try small shifts that fit their life. Catherine has worked in community mental health, medical settings, and hospitals, which shaped her practical way of supporting people with co-occurring concerns. She brings experience with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, and ADHD.
She also attends to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. In therapy she mixes problem-solving with education about symptoms and coping strategies. That might mean practicing new ways to handle urges, setting up routines, or learning skills to manage mood and focus.
Catherine often helps people build relapse prevention plans and realistic next steps. Outside of work she enjoys running, kayaking, swimming, and reading, and values time with her daughter. Catherine aims to meet people where they are, listen to where they have been, and help them move toward where they want to go.
How Catherine’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience before suggesting changes; it helps people feel heard and respected while they decide what direction to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative method that helps people find internal motivation to change behaviors like substance use or unhealthy habits.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Catherine works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time, checking in about what’s working and what needs to shift so sessions stay practical and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins and written exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care, try different ways of working, and maintain progress even with a full life.
