Background and approach

Sessions emphasize simple tools you can use between meetings, like noticing thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Parents and individuals who feel stuck around family issues, parenting strain, or relationship friction will find straightforward guidance.

Catherine has long experience supporting people dealing with trauma and intense life transitions, and she aims to help them gain confidence and clearer direction. She also works with concerns such as social anxiety, self-esteem, guilt and shame, and isolation. Her style is relational and collaborative.

She partners with each person to set realistic goals, teach coping skills, and try techniques that fit daily life. Her approach often includes caregiver coaching and communication tools when family roles matter. Catherine believes change happens one small step at a time.

Her work focuses on practical solutions, improved communication, and helping people reconnect with what matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values while noticing difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy combines acceptance and change skills and offers practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Catherine works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try approaches that match those needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress and circumstances change so clients stay involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules, try shorter or longer sessions, and use tools that match how a person prefers to communicate.
