About Catherine

Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience who draws primarily on client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches to support people through life transitions and persistent challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes meeting clients where they are, honoring the strengths and coping strategies that have carried them to the present, and collaborating to identify practical steps toward improved functioning and clearer perspectives. Catherine’s training includes a master’s degree in counseling and long experience across hospital, community mental health, and substance use treatment settings in Missouri.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, parenting and workplace difficulties. She also works with co-morbidity and concerns such as codependency, impulsivity, panic, and postpartum depression.

Catherine blends motivational interviewing and narrative techniques with evidence-informed strategies to help clients set meaningful goals and build skills for day-to-day life. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which their priorities shape the work.

Catherine aims to create space for change by identifying realistic interventions, strengthening coping resources, and exploring new ways of understanding personal stories and patterns.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship and helping clients define their own goals; this approach is useful for people who want therapy that centers their values and lived experience. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies for recognizing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, mood symptoms, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. Motivational interviewing helps people explore readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation, making it a good fit for work around substance use, habit change, and moving toward specific life goals.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively to determine which approaches fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing so the work aligns with what the client wants to achieve rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can increase flexibility for scheduling and help people access care from their own environments. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life or logistics change, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide treatment and goal-setting.
