01About Catherine
Catherine Seger uses a practical, people-focused approach to help clients tackle stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and works from the view that each person knows their own story and strengths. Catherine holds an IL LCPC and centers sessions on what matters to the individual who comes in the door.
Her work often focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, motivation, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
She also addresses trauma, grief, eating concerns, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, and women's issues. Catherine uses tools drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, try new behaviors, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She keeps explanations straightforward and gives concrete steps people can use between meetings. Her approach is collaborative and paced to individual needs.
She invites clients to define goals and then practices skills together that build confidence and coping. Small changes over time are emphasized rather than quick fixes. People who reach out can expect sessions that focus on problem solving and emotional support.
Catherine aims to help clients build everyday routines and coping habits that fit their life and values.

04Online support
Online approaches that support real-life change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and then take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It works well for depression, anxiety, and managing problematic habits by teaching practical skills to change thoughts and actions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building therapeutic rapport so clients can explore their own solutions. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they try new coping strategies.
Catherine treats finding the right approach as part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That shared process helps shape treatment plans and adjust techniques over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written interaction. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
