01About Catherine
Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a long history in counseling. She brings practical, down-to-earth care and a focus on helping people find workable next steps. Catherine speaks plainly and centers each person’s goals during sessions.
She has practiced counseling in hospital, community mental health, and substance use treatment settings. That variety shaped a straightforward approach: respect where someone is now and build from their strengths. Catherine has 25 years of experience as an LPC in Missouri and draws on that background to guide people through common struggles.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness ideas, and narrative therapy. Those methods help with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems tied to substance use or mood swings. She also addresses grief, parenting strain, relationship conflict, and concerns like low self-esteem or workplace stress.
Catherine focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. She helps identify patterns that keep problems going and looks for small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations aim to be direct, respectful, and focused on what you want to change.
If someone is dealing with panic, ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, or compassion fatigue, she brings experience across those areas. The work combines listening to your story with concrete strategies to improve coping and functioning.

04Online support
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on what matters most to the person and meeting them where they are. In online sessions that means listening closely, reflecting concerns back, and shaping goals together so each session feels relevant and respectful.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include exercises, behavioral experiments, and brief homework items that fit into daily routines to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. These practices can be guided during video or phone sessions and then repeated between meetings to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process is part of the work and can be done over any session format.
Online options offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, tracking progress, or working through moments between scheduled meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
