About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth uses a warm, interactive approach rooted in client-centered care. She is dually licensed as a professional clinical counselor and a marriage and family therapist in Ohio - LPCC and LMFT. Catherine keeps sessions respectful and practical, helping people map out small, doable steps when life feels overwhelming.
She has 12 years of experience across settings. Early work included a residential program for adolescents, followed by community health, substance abuse residential treatment, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs. Catherine works with many common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with career questions, self-esteem, and complicated family dynamics.
Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with systems-based thinking and the Gottman Method when relationships are involved. She combines techniques to match a person's goals and practical life demands. In sessions she focuses on clear problem solving and skill building.
She helps clients identify goals, practice new strategies, and troubleshoot obstacles. The aim is steady progress through realistic steps, with attention to each person's values and context.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the session to each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals that fit their real life situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. It is useful when someone wants concrete tools and steps to change how they feel and act.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine works with clients to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily routines. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. The combination of practical approaches and multiple communication formats aims to make therapeutic work accessible and manageable for people balancing parenting and family responsibilities.
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.
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.
