About Catherine

Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history of helping people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and family matters. She brings a calm, practical presence to conversations about intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at parents and adults who need clear support now. She uses approaches that focus on present steps and personal values.

Background and approach

Sessions often include learning simple skills for managing mood and behavior. Catherine emphasizes plain talk, realistic goals, and real-world practices rather than medical jargon. With 47 years of experience as an LCSW, she has worked with a broad range of life challenges.

That background informs how she frames options for recovery from trauma, substance issues, and complicated grief. She also brings experience with aging and hospice concerns, blended family dynamics, and codependency patterns. In practical terms, Catherine helps people notice what matters most, try small different actions, and adjust plans that aren’t working.

She draws from proven methods like cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies, while keeping the conversation rooted in each person’s values. Her practice is located in Missouri and she offers services in English. International clients are accepted.

The focus is on steady, paced progress so families and individuals can regain balance and clearer decision making.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where getting stuck is the main problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often focuses on mood, anxiety, and coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses to improve close relationships and attachment patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible options for care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue support during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills training to the chosen format so progress can continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
