About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth uses a warm, interactive, client-centered approach to help people move through difficult moments. She is credentialed as LPCC, LMFT and brings 12 years of practice in a range of settings. Her tone in sessions is respectful and compassionate.
She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon so people can make changes that feel sustainable. She has worked in residential treatment for adolescents, community health settings, substance abuse residential care, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That background means she has experience with addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Catherine also helps people with parenting strain, career stress, grief, and complex family dynamics. In session she draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior therapy.
She also uses mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus. Her approach is tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed script. Catherine helps people map out small, concrete changes and then problem-solve roadblocks together.
She values collaboration and treats clients as the experts on their lives while offering skills and strategies to test between sessions. This makes therapy feel practical and goal-oriented. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversations about next steps, with attention to safety and coping.
Catherine aims to support growth at a pace that feels manageable, helping clients build skills for long-term change.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s lead, helping people name what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills, often useful for mood instability and relationship conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients help shape the plan and offer feedback about what feels useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options help therapy match a person’s schedule and comfort with different formats.
