About Catherine

Catherine Goss is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. She uses a straightforward, compassionate style to help people feel seen and understood. Conversations focus on practical changes that fit daily life. Catherine practices a person-centered approach that starts with active listening and acceptance. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That mix is often useful for addictions, co-occurring concerns, and for people coping with life transitions. In sessions she aims to validate feelings while supporting clearer decision making. That can mean working on mood regulation, handling panic or social anxiety, or reducing shame and isolation. She also helps people sort out attachment and abandonment wounds that affect relationships. Her background includes long-term work in mental health and specific experience with drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring disorders. Catherine draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship patterns cause repeated problems. People who choose her can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk and set small, doable goals. She encourages clients to build skills they can use outside sessions. To begin, confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. It aims to build self-trust and strengthen personal choices, which can help with low self-esteem, depression, and relationship worries.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving how people relate to others. Those skills are useful when mood swings, panic attacks, or impulsivity cause repeated problems.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life to decide which methods to use. She adapts techniques as work progresses so the therapy stays practical and focused on real-world changes.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since none are specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and provide simpler ways to check in between appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-only conversations when video is not convenient. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to what helps each person most.
