About Catherine

Catherine Repertorio is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 25 years of professional experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Catherine focuses on practical steps that help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship tensions.

She often starts by listening closely to understand immediate concerns. From there she and the client identify small, achievable goals and try approaches that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and grounded in real problems rather than technical language. Catherine uses methods that help people change unhelpful thinking and build better habits. She also brings mindfulness tools to relieve tension and improve focus.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques show up when clients want to make clear changes quickly. Her work covers relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and life transitions. She also helps with mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep problems, and social anxiety.

Additional areas of attention include divorce and separation, domestic violence, OCD patterns, panic, and personality-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Italian. Catherine aims to partner with each person to find practical, manageable ways forward.

She supports people through gradual change, one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives people space to share concerns and decide what matters most, which can help with family stress, parenting challenges, and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and unwanted behavior patterns by teaching skills to change thinking and build new habits.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into everyday life to reduce tension and improve sleep and focus. These tools are often used alongside other approaches to make coping easier day to day.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that match your situation. Together you can try strategies and adjust what isn’t working until you find a good fit.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, handle work commitments, or meet from different locations. Many people find that a mix of formats helps maintain progress between visits while keeping care practical and accessible.

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.

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.
