About Cathryn

Cathryn Fletcher is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what feels overwhelming. Her approach is practical and focused on everyday change rather than labels or judgments.

Cathryn brings ten years of clinical experience and adapts methods to each person’s situation. She has worked with adults and adolescents on life transitions, relationship struggles, grief, compassion fatigue, and career concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports work around ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and emotional regulation issues. Sessions typically include skill-building and real-world practice. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thought patterns.

Mindfulness strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy help with emotional control and stress management. Cathryn also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and guide decision making. Client-centered principles shape sessions so people feel heard and respected.

This mix helps people identify small steps they can take between meetings. She practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC - licensed professional counselor. Therapy can address family and parenting topics alongside individual concerns.

The tone in sessions is compassionate, practical, and collaborative to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking action toward those values. It can help with motivation, life transitions, and coping when strong emotions get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It is useful for stress, low mood, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress when relationships or parenting feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist choose methods together and adjust as needed based on what helps most.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility lets people fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. It also allows use of worksheets, guided mindfulness practices, and real-time coaching in daily situations without traveling to an office.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
