About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, grief, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than labels.
She drew early experience in adolescent residential treatment and then moved into community mental health, substance abuse residential programs, and private practice. That mix shaped a hands-on approach to common life problems. Clients bring work stress, relationship conflict, trauma, or difficulty managing strong feelings like anger.
Catherine combines client-centered listening with evidence-based tools. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. She also integrates systems ideas for relationship and family concerns and draws on the Gottman Method for communication and conflict work.
In sessions she helps people identify specific changes they want and builds step-by-step plans to try them. She encourages small experiments, regular check-ins, and practical problem solving. The work is described plainly and in everyday language so people can use it between sessions.
Her background includes substance abuse treatment, family systems work, and support for LGBTQ concerns and intimacy-related issues. Those experiences inform how she approaches addiction, relationship repair, and rebuilding after trauma or loss. People who want direct, goal-oriented help with anger and related stresses may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy centers on listening, reflecting, and following the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on what matters most to the client and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; online work often includes worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when anger or overwhelm feels intense, and those skills can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean combining items from different approaches and adjusting the plan as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when a quick reset is needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between visits. Licensed professionals and therapists can help tailor session length and pacing to practical needs like work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel constraints.
