About Catherine
Catherine Denham is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of professional experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Catherine uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people sort through stressful situations and find practical steps forward.
Her sessions are attentive and inviting. She listens closely and helps clients identify what matters most to them. Catherine emphasizes working together to uncover strengths and build clearer ways to handle daily challenges.
Background and approach
In practice she draws on approaches like attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. That mix lets her address emotions, relationships, and thought patterns in concrete ways. She often combines skills training with exploration of family patterns and relationship dynamics.
Catherine has worked across outpatient, inpatient/residential, school-based, in-home, and telehealth settings. That variety informs how she tailors sessions to fit each person’s life and routines. She aims to help people feel more steady and capable between visits.
Parents and families often come for help with stress, parenting, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD, and relationship difficulties. Catherine focuses on clear, practical strategies alongside supportive conversation. She works with clients to set small goals and build realistic plans for change.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Attachment-based work focuses on how early patterns shape current relationships. It helps people and families understand emotional responses and build more supported, dependable ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce stress and improve mood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep working on skills between meetings. For many people, the range of formats helps maintain consistency and lets therapists tailor contact to what works best for each household.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
