Catherine Heil, LCSW

Catherine Heil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and life transitions.

Cathy trained in social work at Southeast Missouri State University and holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Missouri, Columbia. She holds the Missouri LCSW credential and has provided services in inpatient and outpatient settings as well as correctional institutions. That background means she has experience with a wide range of clinical presentations and care settings.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on goals and strategies clients can use between meetings. She uses client-centered skills alongside structured techniques to help people notice thinking patterns and try new responses.

Therapeutic methods she uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Those methods are applied to problems like substance and process addictions, obsessive patterns, sexual assault and abuse, grief, and relationship ruptures.

When working on anger specifically, she helps clients identify triggers, test different coping skills, and practice clearer communication. The work is behavioral and skills-focused, with attention to thought patterns and concrete steps that reduce reactivity.
