About Catherine
Catherine Duthie is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 18 years of experience helping people who want to change behaviors that are causing pain or disruption. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Substance Abuse and Addictions, and she has worked in community mental health, medical center, and hospital settings in Maine.
Catherine emphasizes practical steps a person can try right away. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused.
Background and approach
She listens first, and then helps set realistic goals. Sessions often include education about behavior patterns, strategies to manage strong emotions like anger, and tools to reduce relapse risk for substance concerns. Catherine uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also applies motivational interviewing to support a person's own reasons to change. When trauma has played a role, she brings trauma-informed care into the conversation. She often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating difficulties, or challenges related to identity and discrimination.
Catherine also supports work on parenting strain, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Outside of work she enjoys running, kayaking, swimming, and reading, and she spends time with her daughter. Her style is collaborative and calm, and she works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and goals.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps build trust and makes space for someone to set their own goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan stays collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
