About Catherine

Catherine Pither is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people cope after loss and traumatic events. She focuses on calming anxiety, easing depression, and untangling unresolved grief. Her style aims to make people feel heard and supported while they work through hard feelings and practical concerns.

Her practice pays attention to common everyday pressures like parenting, work stress, sleep and eating problems, and relationship strains. Catherine also addresses more specific issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment, blended family challenges, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Background and approach

She writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings to the session. Catherine uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from client-centered work to follow the person’s pace, emotionally focused methods to look at relationship patterns, and mindfulness tools to manage intense feelings.

She also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to reframe problems and set practical steps forward. With six years of clinical experience, Catherine blends professional training with personal familiarity with grief and trauma recovery. She works with people in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English.

Services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the site. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.

How Catherine’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions prioritize what matters most to the person and move at a comfortable pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and emotional responses; it helps people notice and change interaction habits that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity during moments of strong emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss these methods and help decide which approach or combination fits the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Catherine provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different comfort levels and situations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, try brief check-ins, and use therapeutic tools 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.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
