Background and approach

Catherine draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship dynamics and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change troubling thoughts and habits. Clients often explore issues such as abandonment, communication problems, guilt or shame, and panic attacks. The work can include untangling control issues, managing caregiver stress, or navigating separation and forgiveness.

Catherine also supports people facing social anxiety, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practices they can use at home.

Catherine explains concepts in plain language and adjusts pace to each person’s comfort. Sessions are conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who prefer movement-based awareness alongside conversation will find the somatic focus woven into the therapeutic approach.

How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

Somatic-informed work focuses on how feelings and stress appear in the body. Sessions include attention to breath, posture, and physical sensations alongside conversation to help reduce tension and notice triggers. This can be helpful for panic attacks, chronic stress, and situations where emotions feel stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early connection styles shape current reactions and communication, which can improve trust and reduce reactivity in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead, helping people find their own insights and strengths to solve problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, while phone, chat, and text messaging provide alternatives when live video is not possible. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice skills between sessions.
