About Catherine

Catherine Rossi is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, client-focused approach to work on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and ADHD, alongside other complex issues including addiction and mood disorders. Her training as an LICSW and LCSW informs a practical, evidence-aware practice that balances emotional support with skills-based strategies.

Rossi emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and try new ways of coping. She draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing to help people build insight and develop concrete tools.

Catherine frames change as a courageous process and positions herself as a collaborative partner who supports and empowers clients as they take steps toward a more satisfying, resilient life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and creating an accepting, empathetic environment where goals are shaped by the client; this approach supports work on issues like relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and grief by prioritizing what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and improving communication.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which approaches and techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend methods over time as priorities evolve. Clients are encouraged to share what works and what doesn’t so treatment can be adjusted together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for consistent, ongoing work on skills and coping strategies from home or another convenient location, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care.
