About Cathy
Cathy Henderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, family of origin concerns, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
She frames sessions around open, person-focused conversation. Cathy listens to what matters to the client and adjusts how she talks and plans treatment based on that input. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aiming to clarify what feels stuck and what can be tried next.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That means she encourages people to identify thought patterns that keep them stuck, practice new ways of responding, and build awareness of moment-to-moment experience.
Over her career Cathy has worked in settings that involved addiction and relationship concerns. She brings that experience into individual work, helping people unpack how past family dynamics or substance issues influence current feelings and choices. Conversations often touch on boundaries, communication, and healing from shame.
She asks questions to understand each person’s goals and practical constraints. From there she and the client shape short-term steps and longer-term focus. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and using the client's own goals to guide sessions. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what she hears and checks in often about whether the conversation is helpful, which suits remote conversations that rely on clear verbal exchange.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, planning experiments to try between meetings, and reviewing how those experiments went.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice difficult emotions without getting swept away. These exercises can be demonstrated in a session and practiced between meetings to build steadying skills.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to use based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative decision making continues as progress and needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel to an office. Conversations, skill practice, and between-session tasks can all be arranged to fit everyday life without assuming a single delivery style.
