About Caterina
Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, and bipolar mood concerns. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image.
Cathe draws on straightforward, problem-focused methods to help people talk through what matters most to them. She listens to how guilt or shame shows up in daily life and helps name practical steps a person can try. Sessions tend to focus on what problems are present now and what small changes could reduce overwhelming feelings.
Her work uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep people stuck. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify what a person wants and build real reasons to try different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.
Cathe has worked across many settings over two decades, supporting people who have experienced trauma, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and complex family concerns. Her experience includes helping people who have been through abuse, neglect, or other difficult events.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Cathe commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps people test different actions to reduce distress. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep guilt or shame active.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to build motivation for change. That approach focuses on the person's own reasons for trying something different and on small, doable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathe will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize thinking patterns, short goals, or helping motivation.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a break at work or to join from a place with quieter surroundings.
