Catherine Barbour , LCSW

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings four years of clinical practice to her work in Florida. She uses clear, practical methods to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and stress. Catherine speaks plain language and focuses on small changes that add up over time.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and test them against reality. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to build on strengths and set realistic goals. Trauma-focused work is part of her approach when past hurts affect daily life.

Catherine's background includes work in outdoor therapy programs, in-home counseling, and medical social work in a hospital system. Those experiences inform how she helps with complicated family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and panic symptoms.

Sessions emphasize practical tools - breathing and grounding for panic, behavior experiments for anxiety, and communication skills for family tensions. Catherine helps people plan steps they can try between sessions and reviews what worked. This makes therapy feel more like problem solving than a lecture.

She aims to meet each person where they are and to help them move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. Catherine listens, asks useful questions, and works with clients to set clear, achievable goals.

How Catherine Uses Practical Approaches Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and anger. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and guided rather than judged. That approach helps with issues like grief, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and what feels most useful. Together they set small steps to try, then review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people see facial cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style moments, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the chosen approaches effectively.
