About Catherine

Catherine Allen brings a warm, client-centered approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting and family challenges, trauma, grief, anger, intimacy issues, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes meeting clients where they are and collaborates on individualized goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Catherine’s counseling style centers on respectful, nonjudgmental engagement and building practical steps toward the changes each person wants to make.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee and has seven years of clinical experience, including three years working toward licensure and four years practicing as a licensed therapist. Catherine blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy within a client-centered framework, often drawing on existential perspectives.

Her work aims to combine realistic problem-solving with attention to personal meaning and values, and she strives to develop rapport and treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective and priorities, offering a respectful, empathetic environment where the therapist listens carefully and collaborates on goals; this approach helps people who need support in clarifying values and building motivation for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills such as cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements of these approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for fitting sessions into busy schedules and for accessing care from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and receive support in ways that suit individual routines and communication styles.
