Dr. Spyros Catechis, LMFT, LPC

Dr. Spyros Catechis has worked in counseling for more than 25 years. He holds LMFT and LPC credentials and practices in Texas. He offers online work aimed at helping people handle stress and anxiety and regain a sense of direction.

He focuses on clear, practical work. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to build small, manageable skills. People come for help with panic, social anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions.

His background includes long experience in private practice and educational settings. That history informs a straightforward style that balances listening with concrete tools. The approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and narrative ideas to shape goals and next steps.

Sessions can include shorter check-ins or longer problem-solving conversations, depending on what someone needs that week. Dr. Catechis uses techniques to reduce intense anxiety, improve coping, and clarify personal purpose. He works to make therapy feel understandable and useful.

People choosing him will find a therapist who values collaboration and practical progress. He explains options, checks in on goals, and adjusts the plan as needed. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process toward better daily functioning and clearer priorities.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Catechis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tools often include simple experiments, thought records, and stepwise exposure for panic or social anxiety to reduce distress over time.

He also uses client-centered techniques to create a listening space where a person’s priorities guide the work. That approach focuses on understanding what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their goals.

Finding the right approach happens collaboratively. He will talk with each person about needs, preferences, and goals, then pick techniques that fit. Plans are reviewed and adjusted together as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions are useful when a lower bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
