About Catherine
Catherine Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced in Texas for 17 years. She holds a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and brings longterm clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. Catherine keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth.
She focuses on listening first, then helping people identify small, reachable steps to feel better. The tone in her work is supportive and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help clients make practical changes rather than deliver labels.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people facing medical issues, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship problems. She uses a blend of evidence-based techniques and longer-term talk therapy to match what each person needs. That means sessions can include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, or looking at how past patterns affect current choices.
Catherine often supports people managing life transitions, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, and challenges with substance use or mood instability. She emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps them track progress one step at a time. Outside of practice she lives in the Houston area with her husband, twin sons, and two Dachshunds.
Her approach is straightforward: a steady conversation, practical tools, and calm support while people work toward the next chapter.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress by teaching practical skills to test and alter thoughts and actions.Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make and sustain changes. It is a collaborative, nonconfrontational way to strengthen motivation for addressing addiction, lifestyle shifts, or readiness for treatment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. That way clients and therapist pick tools that match needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet throughout the week by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a break from work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when a short written update helps keep momentum. These options make scheduling easier and let people access consistent support from wherever they are in Texas.
