About Catherine
Catherine Pither is an LPC who helps people working through trauma, loss, and the problems those experiences can leave behind. She supports people who notice anxiety, low mood, trouble sleeping, or struggles with relationships after difficult events. Her approach is warm and straightforward so parents and busy adults can find practical ways to cope.
She focuses on creating a space where clients can name what happened and what still feels hard. Sessions often include steady listening, exploring emotions, and small steps to reduce overwhelm. Catherine draws on several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs rather than a single technique.
Catherine brings six years of counseling experience and she speaks from both professional and personal experience with grief and trauma recovery. That background shapes how she helps people rebuild routines, handle upsetting memories, and reconnect with what matters to them.
She works with a broad set of concerns, including stress, parenting strain, intimacy and relationship problems, codependency, body image, and compassion fatigue. Practical skills for sleep, emotional regulation, and everyday coping often appear early in treatment so clients get relief while deeper work continues.

Approach and online therapy options
Catherine uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experience. This approach means sessions center on what matters to the client and on building practical changes that fit day-to-day life.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people understand and reorganize difficult emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. EFT can be useful for people feeling stuck in cycles of conflict, abandonment fears, or chronic loneliness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients decide which approaches suit their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy progresses.
If you prefer online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the practice. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adapt approaches like mindfulness exercises and narrative work for remote sessions, helping clients practice skills between appointments and apply them in daily life.
