Catherine holds the credential LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She practices in Pennsylvania and brings four years of professional experience to her clinical work. Her background includes helping people with blended family issues, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and problems with control and impulsivity.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and practice between sessions. It often suits people wanting concrete tools for anxiety or mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and attachment needs in relationships and is used to rebuild connection and trust between partners.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. If one approach does not fit, adjustments are made so the work matches what a person needs and wants.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule sessions around work and family obligations. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum and apply new skills in day-to-day situations.
