Background and approach
Conversations focus on small, useful changes rather than long lectures. In sessions she draws from client-centered skills to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new coping strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness approaches help people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive behavior. Cathy also employs motivational interviewing when someone wants to change habits such as substance use or unhealthy routines. She frames goals so they fit daily life and feel achievable.
Her work often covers parenting stress, sleep and eating struggles, intimacy issues, and recovery from trauma or loss. Clients can expect a collaborative tone where goals and steps are agreed on together. Cathy explains options and helps people practice new skills between sessions.
Her approach aims to restore hope and create practical tools for moving ahead.

04Online support
How Cathy’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's concerns first. In practice this means the therapist listens and follows your pace, helping you set goals that matter to you and adjusting work as needs change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or ease mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for handling strong emotions and reducing impulsive actions, which is useful for strong mood shifts or difficulties with anger and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s goals and daily life. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and realistic rather than theoretical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full sessions with face-to-face conversation. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send shorter messages, update progress, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep work consistent when schedules change.
