Catherine Rossi, LICSW, LCSW

Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from New Mexico. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear.

Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy questions, sleeping problems, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. Catherine has experience with mood disorders, panic, phobias, and challenges linked to chronic illness or pain.

In sessions she keeps things straightforward and humane. Catherine listens first, then helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behavior. Together they try simple skills and small experiments that can change daily life, not just talk about problems.

She uses methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. These approaches mean practical tools, emotion regulation skills, and attention to the whole person rather than a single symptom.

Catherine’s style is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s goals. She helps people set clear, achievable steps and checks progress along the way. Her aim is to leave people feeling more able to handle tough days and to build habits that last.

How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors because it focuses on small, practical changes.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change or improve in relationships and self-care.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is tracked.

Online sessions let people connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and seeing nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins or notes between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
