About Catherine
Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people cope with emotional and life challenges. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from New Mexico. Catherine aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard things and begin small, doable changes.
She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. ADHD is listed among her areas of interest.
Background and approach
Catherine also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions often involve talking through immediate problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying new skills between meetings.
She uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Catherine draws on experience from community and clinical settings across her career. She helps people who are coping with chronic pain or long-term illness, first responder and veteran-related stress, and the effects of family-of-origin difficulties.
People who choose her typically want a supportive listener who also offers clear, structured tools. Her style balances openness with actionable steps so clients can make progress at a steady pace. To begin, she asks people to describe what feels most urgent and what they hope to change.
From there she and the client pick a path forward that fits daily life and goals.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental setting where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and make sense of difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to match methods to what helps the person move forward in daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face without travel, phone works well when video is not practical, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or mobility needs while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
