She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and self-esteem concerns. Catherine also lists ADHD and guilt and shame among areas she helps people address.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that relate to everyday life. She listens for how faith, family background, and personal history shape current feelings and decisions.
Catherine has extensive experience helping people cope with panic, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and the aftermath of domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with codependency, communication problems, separation and divorce, and complicated family-of-origin issues. She works with people facing caregiving strains and isolation as well.
Near end-of-life and hospice counseling are part of her practice, where she assists with reflection and meaning. She also helps people who are wrestling with forgiveness, commitment questions, and concerns about life purpose. Sessions address practical coping skills as well as the emotions underneath difficult choices.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Catherine works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses specific strategies to reduce anxiety and panic. This can help with worry, sudden attacks of fear, and day-to-day stress management.She also draws on trauma-informed methods that pay attention to how past harms affect current reactions. These methods include gentle ways to name and work through traumatic memories and the strong emotions they bring, which can be relevant when people bring guilt, shame, or the effects of domestic violence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client assess goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative planning happens early and continues as goals change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or other formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins and to try shorter or more frequent meetings when life is hectic.
