About Catherine

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a strengths-based outlook to help clients move through stressful and painful life moments.

Background and approach

She draws on four years of clinical experience in multiple settings, including outdoor therapeutic programs for teens, in-home family counseling, and hospital-based medical social work. Her background informs a flexible approach that meets people where they are while addressing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and attention-deficit concerns such as ADHD.

Her work emphasizes individual strengths and practical steps toward change, using solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside trauma-informed interventions when needed. Catherine has supported people facing complex family dynamics, caregiver strain, chronic illness, mood disorders, panic, and the emotional fallout of loss.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed not only at easing current symptoms but also at clarifying values and building toward a more meaningful, manageable life. Based in Florida, she offers sessions in English and tailors her method to each client's priorities and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respecting each person's perspective so that goals emerge from what matters most to the client; this approach helps with motivation, self-esteem, and navigating life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Trauma-focused therapy provides strategies to process and heal from painful events while reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adjusting the plan over time as progress and needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure interventions remain practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, connect from home or another convenient location, and continue consistent work between sessions using brief messaging or chat as needed. For many people, this combination of therapeutic methods and flexible formats supports steady progress toward clearer coping skills and a more balanced life.
