About Catherine
Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience supporting people through hard moments. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from New Mexico. Catherine focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief while also addressing relationship and intimacy concerns and parenting challenges.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open space where clients can name what matters and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Catherine uses familiar, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thoughts and build calm routines. She also draws on client-centered listening to make sure each plan fits the person in the room.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people who want to make lasting behavior changes. Clients often bring concerns that overlap - addiction, trauma, chronic pain, or work-related burnout. Catherine helps sort priorities and set small, doable goals.
She pays attention to mood disorders, panic and phobias, and challenges that come from military or first responder life. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online care
The work often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills that help people manage stress, sleep problems, and strong emotions.Client-centered methods guide how sessions are run. That means the therapist listens carefully and collaborates with each person to shape goals and tools. Together they decide which approach or combination feels most useful for the client’s situation and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, daily support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, and other busy days while keeping consistent progress possible.
