About Catherine
Catherine Ogletree is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, career stress, depression, and life transitions. Her work includes additional focus on divorce and separation, midlife questions, self-harm concerns, self-love, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace struggles.
Catherine keeps conversations direct and respectful. She listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs so practical steps and small changes matter more than theory. She aims to create space for honest discussion and steady progress. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on practical steps toward specific goals.
These methods are used to teach coping skills, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build routines that reduce stress and improve relationships. Clients can expect a collaborative style where therapist and client pick priorities together. Catherine frames challenges as problems to be solved one step at a time.
She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to handle intense moments and daily pressures. She practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. Catherine has seven years of counseling experience as an LPC and works with adults seeking clearer direction, steadier mood, and more effective strategies for parenting and family life.

How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to teach concrete coping skills and step-by-step changes.Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, realistic changes that move life in the right direction. This approach focuses on strengths and quick, practical steps you can try between sessions to see what helps.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Catherine will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be a lighter option with less bandwidth, and chat or text can work for quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and busy days.
