About me

Hi. My name is Cathy. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and have been working with kids, teens, and families for over 30 years. I've worked in schools, hospitals, institutions and in people's homes, so I'm able to see things from a lot of different perspectives. I'm a parent myself and that has taught me a lot, but I'm also thankful for what I've learned from all the kids I've worked with over the years, and it seems like life for kids these days is more complicated than ever. After all these years I still can't promise that "I've seen it all" (I used to say that, but then something new comes up!), but I can promise that no matter what is happening I will listen without judgement, and do everything I can to help you work through it.

My experience includes work with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, trauma, abuse, addiction, and many other emotional concerns. I use a variety of methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, structural family therapy, and various trauma-informed approaches. I also have a seminary education for those who seek a faith-based approach, but I also believe that if you've been raised in a religious family, it's important to be allowed to ask questions, express doubts, and examine your beliefs so that your faith can become your own.

I believe it's important to be real, to meet you where you are, and work together to find the solutions that work best. Most of all, I believe that everyone deserves to be heard with compassion and respect before I can earn the right offer advice, challenge your thinking, or confront you with an uncomfortable truth.

One of things I love about Betterhelp is that I have the opportunity to work with people from all over the world, and am reminded daily that the things we have in common are far greater than anything that may separate us. So no matter what your background, I am honored to have the privilege of getting to know you, and doing everything I can to help.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Cathy
My name is Cathy and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 30 years experience in the mental health field. I've worked with individuals, couples, children and families of diverse backgrounds in many different setting with a lot of different issues. Specialties include work with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and family issues. I've also worked with addictions, sex offenders, kids of all ages, employee assistance, and just about anything else you can imagine... or so it seems. After all these years I 'm tempted to say I've "heard it all"... until something new proves me wrong!

What I can say is I that I'll try to offer a realistic perspective to almost any problem, whether it's a parenting, relationship, or family issue, or if you need help overcoming your fear, anxiety, anger, hurts, or just plain crazy-off-the-wall-stressful lifestyle. I draw upon many schools of thought, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, structural family therapy, and various trauma-informed approaches. For those who request Christian Counseling, I also have a seminary education and can provide Biblical insights into all of the above, but also acknowledge that the church itself is made up of imperfect people and sometimes brings wounds of its own.

One of things I love about Betterhelp is that I have the opportunity to work with people from all over the world, and am reminded daily that the things we have in common are far greater than anything that may separate us. So no matter what your background, I am honored to have the privilege of getting to know you, and will do everything I can to help.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Cathy

Catherine has listened intently in every session offering me faith based counseling and directives to build a healthier life and to heal properly. I am so grateful the Lord guided me to her services! She has been instrumental in piecing me back together as a whole and complete woman and mother.

She is experienced and has a calm, knowledgeable demeanor. She is helpful in identifying what is wrong, which in itself is really helpful. I recommend her. She knows what she is doing!

Catherine is my girllll. I have shared quite a few graphic things with her and she hasn't even flinched. She doesn't make me feel like i'm a mess or a freak for what I feel. She is also genuinely doing everything she can to help me process my past trauma. I can't recommend her enough!

Written on Aug 02, 2023 after therapy with Catherine for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

Catherine is great! She has such a calm demeanor and voice. She points out ways that I can make changes to better my situations while also supporting me and my healing. She checks in on me if I go without talking to her for a bit and makes sure that I’m doing ok. I know she cares about me as a person and it’s such a great feeling!

Catherine immediately brings a sense of comfort. I started writing to her even before our first session which was a couple of days out. She responded very quickly and provided a much needed mix of words which were validating, comforting, and resourceful.

I had a second session with Catherine and she disappeared on me. She didn’t contact me to reschedule or anything. I got the app because it was crucial to my mental health and what I’m going through and I feel really let down by her after explaining to her that I had some abandonment issues. I’m very disappointed

I have tried multiple therapists and Catherine is the first one I have actually been able to open up to. She has already helped me so much in the short time we have been talking.

Written on Nov 15, 2022 after therapy with Catherine for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coaching

This is my first time doing therapy. The one thing I was told, by numerous people, was to make sure I search until I find a therapist I like. I’m thrilled I got Catherine on the first try! After my first session she had given me tips on how to handle my stressful family situations that I have dealt with for years! Knowing I had her support helped me to start communicating issues with my family that I’ve always kept to myself and stressed about. In the end I’m less stressed, I’m communicating and asking for help, and I don’t dread being around my family! They have seen a huge change in me and are thrilled I found Catherine! Even my husband said he feels like I’m back! I’ve been so stressed for so long he’s happy to see me happy again! I’ve been looking for methods and answers on how to cope with things for my entire adult life and she has already helped me tackle most of them in just a few sessions! I can’t wait to see what else she helps me unravel!

Catherine was a Godsend when I first lost my Granddaughter. She helped me so very much with ways to deal with my grief and put things in perspective that I was stronger after 2 sessions and some texting. I just booked my 3rd session because I need some support now at 4 months after losing Charlotte. This is a wonderful way to find help and Catherine is amazing and so very caring! Best thing to do is talk to someone who is trained to help and I appreciate Catherine very much!

Cathy is a great therapist! She made me feel comfortable right away and she is easy to talk to.

I would without hesitation recommend her. 10/10!

Catherine has been wonderful since we started talking three weeks ago. I feel very comfortable being open with her and never feel judgement, rather she gives me clarity on how I’m feeling and my thoughts on my past actions. It’s really nice talking to someone who carries a conversation so well, it feels very natural and healing. I’d recommend Catherine to anyone!

Written on Feb 08, 2021 after therapy with Catherine for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and self esteem

Catherine was fantastic to work with. She was able to very quickly learn about me, my goals, the context around what brought me on to teencounseling.com, and ultimately sift through our conversations to support me. This translated into helpful analysis (oftentimes via a scientific description that was extremely helpful and delivered in a digestible way), questions that made me dive deeper into my own self-awareness, and ultimately into the creation of habits that worked for my own unique needs. Her support felt customized and not generic and has really changed the way I practice habits to support in cultivating my mental health. I highly recommend working with her!

Never having a therapist, I was not sure what to expect out of sessions. Catherine has made the process very smooth. I appreciate her attentiveness to and care for what I am going through. In just a couple of sessions, I am seeing a light that I have been hoping to find. She presents clear and manageable exercises that we work on together and I on my own. It is evident that she is educated and well-practiced in counseling.

As a wife and new mom, our family is facing some obstacles in life that I want/need guidance through.

This is my first time seeking therapy and was excited but worried I would be more so venting rather than being guided.. not the case at all. I’m enjoying my “me time”.

I’ve been in and out of therapy for the past 24 years and have dealt with a plethora of therapists, some helpful and some not so much. My experience with Catherine has been incredibly helpful to the point where it is visible to the people around me that things in my therapy journey are going well. She has helped me with the more practical side of navigating options I need outside of just teen counseling when it comes to my mental health and has been eye opening to issues I was unaware I was even having that were really causing a lot of blocks in my life. She is open, understanding, while also letting me feel heard and valued. I can’t express how much that alone has helped me get through my weeks. I wanted to make sure I didn’t write a review too soon but after a even just a couple of months I absolutely recommend her.

I feel like Catherine is the first help I've ever been able to be honest with or say something to in minimal form and she completely was able to make sense of how and why I felt a certain way within seconds. I've been through therapy in the military before but I've never felt I was really being helped. Catherine has revived my wife and I both personally and in our marriage in a short amount of time and I look forward our next session as we feel like we're being renewed or rebuilt in a reflective healthy manner with professional guidance.

Catherine has helped me to start taking control of my life and helping me realize that I am stronger than others have thought of me. I am stronger than my scars, my trauma, my abuse, my abusers. I am more powerful than the hands that used to hold me down. She has started working with me to help me rise above being a victim and to walk confidently as a survivor.

Written on Feb 03, 2018 after therapy with Catherine for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and bipolar

After several months of text-counseling at my pace which suits my life and allows me to jot down and send the most poignant thoughts and descriptions of feelings WHEN I can describe them (rather than waiting on a scheduled appointment), I'm in love with this form of counseling. I believe I've made MUCH more progress this way than I ever did in traditional office/appointment/ time - limited counseling. I think it allows my counselor to offer better responses too because she can do it when she knows she has time to concentrate.

I have a masters in counseling, and I'm huge on reading body language and facial expressions, so for me to praise this aspect of the counseling as such a big benefit is a big deal (I think, ha ha).

I was asking for understanding and to be heard rather than told. Cathy has been an amazing example of knowledge with integrity and most certainly has helped me see myself more clearly for who I am, rather than for who I thought I was.

Starting out, I wasn't too sure therapy was the right choice to help me. But from the first message, Catherine has proved to be of more help than I could ever imagine. She takes the time to work through all of my problems with me instead of focusing on just one. She is very encouraging and patient when it comes to what I feel I need or understand. Overall she is one of the most helpful people I have ever met and I would gladly recommend her to anyone seeking help.
