About Catherine
Catherine Schully is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles around identity and self-worth. She works with clients who are navigating LGBTQ concerns, low self-esteem, shifts in life circumstances, and the specific patterns of codependency. Her style is practical and focused on goals you set together.
In sessions she uses structured exercises and short homework tasks to help ideas from therapy stick. She encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and to keep moving toward what matters. That approach aims to reduce time spent stuck in cycles of worry or shame.
Her work often explores attachment patterns and family of origin issues that influence current relationships. She also supports people dealing with isolation, questions about sexuality or gender, and recovery from compulsive behaviors like trichotillomania. Conversations tend to be direct but compassionate, with clear steps between sessions.
Catherine brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques into her practice. Those methods are used to build values-driven choices and to shape an empathetic, accepting space for change. She helps clients practice small, doable actions that match their goals.
Based in Arizona, she offers services in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a reader can select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that reflect those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Catherine will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors exercises and homework to what a client wants to change and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping progress consistent when schedules change. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice homework between meetings, which supports steady movement toward values-based goals.
