About Catherine
Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on four years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. Catherine writes in a direct, practical style and focuses on small steps that add up over time.
She uses approaches that center the person in front of her, including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions concentrate on current problems and on skills people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Catherine also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when needed to address painful events and build coping tools. Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs, in-home counseling, and medical social work in a hospital system. Those roles exposed her to a range of issues such as mood disorders, substance concerns, ADHD, family communication struggles, and the effects of chronic illness.
This variety shaped a flexible style that adjusts to each person's situation. In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the individual and then helps set clear, attainable goals. Meetings blend active listening with practical strategies like behavior changes and problem-solving.
Catherine aims to help people reduce distress and move toward the life they want. She sees clients in Florida and offers therapy in English. Her work can support parents dealing with parenting stress, caregivers facing burnout, and people coping with loss, addiction challenges, or anger concerns.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what the person identifies as most important, helping them clarify choices and take steps that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of difficult events by building coping skills and processing distressing memories when the client is ready.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about what they want to achieve, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on progress and comfort. This shared decision-making helps match the work to the client’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people meet face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session fits into a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on practical steps and steady progress.
