About Catherine

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a thoughtful, person-focused approach to therapy. She works from a strengths perspective and helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, and life changes. Catherine bases her work in practical conversations that aim to make daily life feel more manageable.

She draws on Existential therapy to help people think about meaning, choice, and purpose when life feels confusing or empty.

Background and approach

Catherine also uses Client-Centered techniques to build a supportive space where people can talk through what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when patterns of thought and behavior contribute to distress. Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs, in-home counseling, and hospital-based medical social work.

That variety has given her experience with chronic illness, caregiver stress, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of mood and anxiety concerns. She has four years of professional experience as an LCSW in Florida. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals while honoring each person’s values.

Catherine helps parents navigate parenting stress and blended family issues, and she supports people coping with grief, addiction, ADHD, and bipolar mood challenges. She pays attention to communication problems and caregiver fatigue as part of whole-life stress. People who work with Catherine can expect collaborative planning, simple CBT strategies when helpful, and discussion about life purpose and meaning.

Her aim is to help clients find small, concrete changes that improve daily functioning and long-term wellbeing.

Online support

Integrating meaning and skills through online therapy

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. It helps people who feel empty, stuck, or unsure about life direction to clarify values and make intentional decisions. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Catherine will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits best. Together you can combine meaning-focused exploration with hands-on CBT exercises or solution-focused steps when needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing busy schedules or health concerns. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and tailored to everyday life.
