About Cathey
Cathey Law is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical counseling experience and a 16-year background in corporate leadership. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and coping with life changes, including issues around guilt and shame.
Her past corporate work informs a practical approach to transitions and role changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies. She uses conversation, skills practice, and mindfulness to help people manage distressing thoughts and behaviors.
Cathey draws from several therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means sessions often include noticing patterns, testing small behavioral changes, and learning ways to tolerate strong emotions without getting stuck.
She describes herself as trauma-informed and works with people who need support processing painful memories or reactions that affect daily life. She attends to how early relationships and attachment can shape feelings like abandonment, emptiness, or persistent shame.
Practical concerns such as caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, grief from divorce or separation, or the fallout from infidelity are covered in clear, direct conversation. Cathey explains options and helps people pick manageable steps they can try between sessions.
People who contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. This helps determine initial goals and the best next step for care.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still act in ways that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent shame by teaching acceptance and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods and decide together which fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or letting someone choose audio instead of video when that is easier. Licensed professionals also use online work to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire.
