About Catherine
Catherine Mishoe is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience practicing in South Carolina. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, anger, and stress. Catherine also supports those navigating intimacy-related concerns, parenting questions, career shifts, and ADHD.
Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward. Catherine describes her style as caring and interactive. Sessions focus on building trust and clear goals.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving to help clients name what’s happening and choose next steps. Practical tools and simple exercises are mixed with time to process emotions. She is knowledgeable about alternative sexual lifestyles, including consensual kink and BDSM, and frames those topics as normal parts of life when they are relevant to a person’s emotional concerns.
That experience means conversations about those areas can proceed without extra explanation or judgment. Catherine draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered ideas to tailor sessions to each person. She works with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals.
Progress is measured by clearer choices, reduced distress, and improved daily functioning. Choosing therapy takes courage, and Catherine aims to support that first step with patience and respect. She meets people where they are and helps them move toward healthier coping and more satisfying relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their feelings and goals in their own words. It is useful when someone needs acceptance and a collaborative space to sort out decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and help choose methods that fit those goals. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let clients connect from home or on the go. This flexibility supports regular contact, helps fit sessions into busy schedules, and makes it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
