About Catherine
Catherine Duthie is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction-related behaviors, depression, and parenting challenges. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at helping clients take steps toward change.
Catherine earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Substance Abuse/Addictions from Antioch University in Keene, New Hampshire.
Background and approach
She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Southern Maine. Her background includes work in community mental health, medical center settings, and hospital-based care. She uses straightforward talk therapy tools such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Catherine also brings trauma-focused ideas into sessions when past harm is part of the picture. Sessions typically include clear goals, skills practice, and relapse prevention when substance use is a concern. Catherine pays attention to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
She offers coaching-style support for career strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Parents can expect help sorting parenting stress and balancing family-related pressures while focusing on actionable steps. Outside of work she enjoys running, kayaking, swimming, and reading, and she spends time with her daughter.
Her style is down-to-earth and empathetic, and she aims to meet people where they are while helping them move toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation and coping.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and clarify goals, which can be useful for addressing addictions and readiness to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, interim coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep steady progress between in-person commitments.
