About Catherine
Catherine Goss is an LCPC who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She brings 15 years of experience in mental health work and focuses on helping clients find practical ways to cope. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for parents who are worried or overwhelmed.
Catherine uses a person-centered approach that begins with listening. She prioritizes understanding each person's experience before offering suggestions.
Background and approach
Clients can expect steady validation and help organizing next steps rather than quick fixes. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel intense or impulsive behaviors cause problems. That means teaching concrete tools for managing strong feelings, improving frustration tolerance, and handling relationship stress.
Those skills are offered in plain language and practiced in session. Catherine has worked with people facing addiction and co-occurring concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders. She helps clients sort out what matters most, set manageable goals, and practice new behaviors between visits.
Expect focus on real-life strategies that fit a busy family schedule. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Catherine helps parents balance caregiving demands and self-care, and she supports people making life changes or coping with trauma.
She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, practical resource you can return to when life gets hard.

Approach and Online Options for Parenting and Emotion Skills
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. The aim is to understand what matters most to the person and offer support that fits their life. This approach helps when someone needs steady validation and clearer next steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships. These skills are useful for mood swings, anxiety, impulsivity, and for people working through addictive behaviors or intense stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match skills training or person-centered support to what a client actually needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for quick exchanges, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties and busy schedules, while still focusing on skill-building and emotional support.
