Catherine Goss, LCPC - Therapist in Montana

About Catherine

Catherine Goss is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, addiction, and coping with life changes. Catherine aims to make the room feel calm so people can talk honestly about what’s hard.

She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes listening and acceptance. That means she pays attention to what each person says and responds without judgment.

Background and approach

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete tools for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Catherine has worked with substance use and co-occurring conditions, so she understands how addiction can interact with mood and behavior. She helps people identify their values, set small goals, and practice new responses between sessions.

The work often mixes talking with skill-building exercises. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Montana. Her credential is LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Catherine knits practical strategies with a supportive stance so people can regain more control over daily life. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits a person’s real-life needs and schedule.

Many find this approach useful when life feels overwhelming or out of balance.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Candidate approaches include client-centered therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it’s useful when someone needs space to process parenting stress, life changes, or relationship strain. DBT teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships, which can help with mood swings, addiction-related urges, and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Together you decide whether to emphasize emotion skills, problem solving, or supportive listening as sessions progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins or support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to practice new skills in real time during everyday life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
