More about Catherine

- LMSW
I am licensed in Michigan with 16 years of professional therapy experience, I use a trauma informed approach when helping clients with stress and anxiety, addictions, depression, and PTSD symptoms. I tailor each client's treatment individually according to needs and desires. I believe in treating each person compassionately, respectfully, and without stigmitizing labels. My treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy based, with Mindfulness and nervous system reset exercises at hand. I have experience both in mental health and the addictions. I have worked with clients taking Suboxone treatment while facing an opioid addiction. I have shared therapy time with clients who have very limited resources while dealing with mental health disorders. I've treated military veterans with many dealing with combat stress. I embrace LGBT+ and older adults. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I encourage my clients to challenge themselves in becoming better versions of themselves and grow into self fulfilled individuals. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Catherine listens to me and understands my concerns and offers real like solutions/ next steps. She is empathetic and informed in her input
Cathy has been fantastic. I appreciate all she has shared with me and the guidelines have helped me more than I can say.
I’ve had I think three sessions with Catherine and I think she’s great. She truly has a interest in me and my life. Some past therapist forget what’s going on. Not her. And she offers many ways to be connected.
Catherine has been a huge help. I can tell she wants to understand my concerns so that she can help me through them.
