About Catherine
Catherine Flores is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas. She has 17 years of experience and brings a steady, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Catherine earned her Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2001 and has spent years supporting people through difficult life moments.
Her approach is warm and non-judgmental. She listens carefully and helps people talk through what is most pressing. Catherine draws on practical techniques to help manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Background and approach
She has worked with people facing addiction, medical concerns, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder. Her experience includes helping clients recover from setbacks and find ways to grow after hard experiences. Catherine uses a mix of methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic techniques.
She adapts the conversation and plan to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Outside of work she lives in the Houston area with her husband, twin sons, and two Dachshunds. She aims to be practical, compassionate, and straightforward in sessions so people can make progress toward their goals.
Evidence-based techniques for online support
Many of Catherine's core methods focus on clear, teachable skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try small changes to see new results. Motivational Interviewing helps someone find personal reasons to make changes and reduce resistance to difficult steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Catherine will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest techniques that fit their situation. Together they will adjust the plan as needed to find what works best for day-to-day life.
Online sessions make those options flexible. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when screens are impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats help fit therapy around work, family, and other obligations while keeping focus on practical steps forward.
