About Catherine

Catherine Heil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and life transitions. Catherine presents a calm, practical style for people looking for clear steps forward.

She blends practical therapy methods to meet each person's goals. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building coping skills, and setting small, achievable steps.

Background and approach

The tone is warm and client-centered, with attention to what the person wants to change. Catherine has twelve years of clinical experience in direct therapeutic roles and more years in social work overall. Her background includes inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and work in correctional institutions.

That range shapes her approach to crisis, recovery, and ongoing care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking habits that feed distress and to try new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help people choose realistic, short-term goals.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change or feeling stuck. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and collaborative planning. Catherine emphasizes coping skills for everyday life and works with common concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, obsessions and compulsions, and process or sex addictions.

Her practice is based in Missouri and sessions are offered in English.

Online support

Practical therapies for online parenting support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thinking patterns that lead to unwanted feelings and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and building clearer routines for parenting and daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and quick steps. Sessions work toward small, realistic changes that can make daily life feel more manageable and less overwhelming for caregivers.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are uncertain about change. It uses guided conversation to clarify values and strengthen motivation for steps like altering coping habits or addressing addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let someone check in between appointments or use written reflection when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
