About Catherine
Catherine Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses client-centered work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, and low self-esteem. She meets people where they are and focuses on strengths to help them move toward a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.
Her approach starts with listening and understanding each person's story. Catherine combines practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas. This helps people learn new ways to respond to painful thoughts and feelings, and to build more effective habits.
She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. That means looking at how past wounds or abandonment concerns affect current relationships and self-worth. Clients who struggle with codependency or feelings of emptiness may work on boundaries, self-care, and clearer personal goals.
Catherine draws on five years of professional experience in counseling. She works with common issues such as depression, post-traumatic stress, substance use, workplace stress, and guilt or shame. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She emphasizes the client’s own expertise while offering tools and feedback. To begin, she asks questions, helps set goals, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
How therapy methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns like codependency by clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and workplace stress because it includes concrete exercises to practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and self-worth, helping people address abandonment concerns and build healthier boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress happens so strategies stay practical and relevant.
