About Catherine

Catherine Kolleth is a licensed professional clinical counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist based in Ohio. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, respectful manner to sessions. Catherine listens carefully and helps people set practical goals they can use day to day.

She draws from client-centered work and cognitive and behavioral tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems. Her background includes time in adolescent residential treatment, community health, substance abuse residential programs, and independent practice. That range gives her experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and a variety of intimacy-related concerns including jealousy.

Catherine’s style is warm and interactive. She avoids labels and focuses on what each person needs. In sessions she helps people identify the changes they want, break those changes into manageable steps, and try different strategies to see what works.

Practical problem solving is a frequent focus. She uses mindfulness and dialectical behavior approaches to teach coping skills, and the Gottman Method when relationship communication and connection need attention. Motivational interviewing techniques are part of helping people ready for change when addictions or habit patterns are involved.

People who come to her can expect collaborative planning and clear, concrete tasks between meetings. She supports parents dealing with blended family issues and fatherhood challenges, and she addresses sexual diversity and alternative sex culture without judgment. Catherine aims to help people find more balance and clearer communication in their lives.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration, which helps when building trust and deciding goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with clients to pick methods that match their needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as progress and challenges emerge. The work is based on what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work toward it.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, shorter sessions, or different session rhythms that fit work or family schedules. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to fit real life while using the approaches described above.
