More about Catherine
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional issues. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassion and expertise.
I am particularly passionate about working with women, older adults, and individuals experiencing anxiety, isolation, or life transitions. My approach centers on fostering self-love, exploring life purpose, and developing resilient coping strategies.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and cultivate personal growth. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to providing personalized, empathetic guidance tailored to individual needs.
My therapeutic work emphasizes understanding caregiver stress, women's issues, and the nuanced emotional experiences that emerge during significant life stages. I believe in empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding and meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
