Rev. Catherine Bogue, LCSW

Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri with 47 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her work also covers parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes.

Her style is steady and practical. She listens first, then offers straightforward tools people can use between sessions. Many of her approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building skills for daily life. She also draws on acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods to address deeper feelings.

Catherine has worked in a wide range of settings over many decades. That background gives her experience with family of origin issues, blended families, divorce and separation, and the stresses of caregiving and end-of-life concerns. She also brings knowledge of substance use and process addictions, domestic violence, and trauma recovery.

Clients who have faced disasters, military-related stress, hearing impairment, or complicated medical and aging issues will find relevant experience here. She pays attention to guilt, shame, dissociation, and co-occurring conditions so people can find practical paths forward.

Her sessions are meant to be collaborative and realistic. She helps people set clear goals, practices skills together in session, and adjusts plans as life changes. People looking for guided, experienced support in Missouri or from elsewhere in English can consider working with her.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and many everyday stresses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then take action that fits their values. That approach often helps with grief, chronic distress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. Sessions can shift over time so techniques match changing needs, and the therapist collaborates on what helps most in real life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice new skills together. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible ways to process thoughts between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to work with a licensed professional from different locations while keeping scheduling flexible.
