About Catherine

Catherine Rodriguez is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. She brings three years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and centers each session on the person in front of her.

Catherine views clients as the experts on their own lives. She looks for existing strengths and practical steps that build on those strengths. Sessions are meant to feel like a steady, honest talk where goals are clear and progress is measurable.

Background and approach

Her background includes work on intimacy-related concerns, family conflict, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also addresses addictions, eating and food-related problems, and mood concerns like depression. Catherine uses a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In the room she combines present-focused tools with conversations that explore patterns from the past. That might mean noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, practicing new skills between sessions, or naming what matters most to guide decisions. She offers gentle accountability and straightforward feedback.

For parents, she helps untangle parenting stress and the strain that major life changes can cause. Catherine also supports people working through attachment issues, communication problems, infidelity, and the isolation that can follow difficult experiences. Her style aims to be practical, respectful, and collaborative.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name values and make choices that match what matters most. It uses mindfulness and committed action to reduce struggle with painful thoughts and to build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes practical exercises and skill-building to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy. It aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can explore change at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine treats that choice as collaborative and flexible. She will discuss your goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress emerges or priorities shift.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, coaching-style support, or when a written exchange feels easier to manage.
