About Cathey
She frames sessions around practical talk and goal-focused work. Cathey uses a mix of familiar therapeutic methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches. Her experience in corporate settings informs how she talks about career shifts, motivation, and the strain of big transitions.
In sessions she prioritizes direct conversation about what is causing distress and what helps in daily life. That can include skill practice for emotion regulation, looking at thought patterns that get in the way, and naming values or priorities that guide decisions. She also pays attention to the effects of past relationships on current reactions and connections.
People often come for help after a breakup, divorce, caregiving burnout, or a workplace shift that leaves them uncertain what comes next. Cathey can work with issues tied to guilt, shame, control, infidelity, and grief while helping clients consider questions about life purpose and next steps.
If someone is unsure how therapy fits into their schedule or what approach might help most, she asks questions early to shape a clear plan. The focus is on practical changes and steady steps rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and decisions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce depression and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape responses, which can help with attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and patterns of caregiving stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear, and keep goals practical and measurable. The fit between therapist and method is checked in early sessions and revisited as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. They also allow sessions during workday breaks and can reduce the need to arrange childcare or long commutes. Ask about session length, frequency, and any subscription details when arranging the first appointment.
