Catherine Wilson, LMHC

Catherine Wilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused strategies are used when someone wants clear, step-by-step goals or help finding motivation for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her work when past events are getting in the way of daily life.

Catherine emphasizes building a strong rapport. She aims to create a space where people feel comfortable naming what is hard and testing small adjustments that can make life easier. Sessions combine listening with hands-on tools such as thought tracking, goal setting, and short experiments to try between meetings.

She has worked with issues that include grief, anger, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, career stress, and coping with life changes. Her style is supportive and adaptable so treatment focuses on the person's immediate needs and longer-term goals.

People who prefer flexible session formats can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Catherine works with clients across time zones and will collaborate on a plan that fits their schedule and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behavior and then try small, practical experiments to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress where clear steps and homework exercises can make a difference.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people speak openly about sensitive issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, or parenting stress while feeling heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits and then recommend strategies that suit the person's needs. Plans can shift as progress is made or problems change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
