Catherine Gentry

Catherine Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose.

Catherine centers sessions on the person's perspective and strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on practical steps and skills clients can try between sessions.

Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. She uses those tools to address emotional flashpoints, unhelpful thinking, and relationship patterns that keep people stuck. Catherine also uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when intense emotions or overwhelm are present.

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at real-life problems. Topics often include managing anxiety, coping with cravings, working through trauma memories, repairing attachment wounds, and building everyday routines that support mood. She encourages small experiments and behavioral changes that can be practiced outside of sessions.

Catherine works in Texas and conducts therapy in English. She supports people who want to make sense of what comes next in work or life and those who feel stalled after a big change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session.

Approaches to explore in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without fighting them and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help when people feel stuck by encouraging small value-driven steps that build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and routines. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in adult relationships and can be helpful for codependency, abandonment concerns, and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting for a longer reflection or use phone or video depending on comfort and bandwidth. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular outcome.
