Catherine Goss

Catherine Goss is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Montana with over 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people facing trauma, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.

Catherine uses a person-centered style that emphasizes active listening and validation. She listens first, then helps people sort choices and next steps. Sessions include practical conversation about coping skills, emotion regulation, and ways to reduce harmful patterns such as substance use.

She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and impulsivity when those tools fit a person’s needs. DBT skills are often helpful for panic, mood swings, and problems with intense reactions to stress. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she relates in session, offering steady support and motivational interviewing to help people consider change.

Catherine has experience working with addictions and co-occurring concerns. That background informs how she talks about triggers, relapse prevention, and harm-reduction strategies. She aims to help people build practical routines that reduce risk and increase day-to-day control.

Her style is direct and listening-focused. People can expect straightforward conversation about what’s not working and small experiments to try between sessions. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session to see if her approach fits.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online sessions

Catherine works from a client-centered stance that prioritizes listening, reflection, and motivational interviewing. In practice this means sessions focus on hearing what matters most to the person, clarifying values and goals, and using conversation to identify manageable next steps.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and learning grounding or breathing techniques that can ease panic and mood swings. These skills are often practiced in-session and reinforced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Catherine will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how well particular skills or exercises fit day-to-day life and adjusting them over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. People often choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work allows time-focused skill practice and easier integration of techniques into a regular routine.
