About Catherine

Catherine Kolleth is a licensed professional clinical counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Ohio. She brings 12 years of experience helping people navigate stress, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and parenting challenges. Her manner is warm and interactive and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her background includes work in adolescent residential treatment, community health care, substance abuse residential programs, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Those varied settings shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each person's situation. She has supported people facing trauma, emotional abuse, grief, and LGBTQ concerns, among other struggles. Catherine uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness.

She combines these as needed to help people set goals, try new skills, and solve problems in their daily lives. Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels. Parents who are juggling behavior, communication, blended family issues, or fatherhood concerns will find direct conversation about practical strategies and real-world solutions.

She also addresses intimacy-related questions, commitment troubles, and difficulties tied to substance use and recovery. Catherine helps people identify the changes they want and breaks those changes into manageable steps. She partners with clients to track progress and adjust plans when obstacles come up.

Her aim is to empower people so they can move forward with confidence.

Online support

Approach-driven care delivered online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective and values. It helps people feel heard and guides the creation of goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work together with clients to try methods that fit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. That teamwork makes it easier to find practical tools that actually fit day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, focused problem-solving, and flexibility between synchronous sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
