About Cathey
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person. She listens for what matters most, then helps set small, doable steps between sessions. Clients can expect clear tools for coping, emotion regulation, and problem solving alongside time to talk through deeper feelings.
Cathey uses several evidence-based methods depending on the concern. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Attachment-informed ideas also shape how she looks at relationships and patterns that cause distress.
She aims to make the work feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. That means checking in about goals, adjusting approaches, and teaching practical skills that a person can use day to day. Her corporate background informs a pragmatic focus on managing stress and rebuilding confidence.
People seeking help with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, divorce, guilt and shame, or finding life purpose may find this approach useful. Cathey practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential noted above.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It helps people move toward what matters instead of getting stuck on symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and reactions, and it can help people change repeated relational habits and feel more grounded.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from more than one approach and checking in regularly to adjust the plan.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. They also let someone continue care during transitions or while managing work and family demands. Licensed professionals will help determine how online sessions are scheduled and structured to support your goals.
