About Catherine
Catherine Towne-Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four decades of experience helping people navigate life’s harder moments. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, work stress, and parenting concerns. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps forward. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities. That means listening first, then shaping goals around what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can change feelings over time. Solution-focused ideas are part of her work too, which leads to short-term goals and simple strategies to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are available when emotion regulation or intense stress is an issue.
The mix is adapted to the needs of the person in front of her. Catherine is direct but warm, and she aims for honest conversations that end with a clear plan. She helps people sort priorities, practice new communication skills, and manage setbacks without getting overwhelmed.
Parents, professionals, and people facing transitions can find practical tools and steady support. Sessions can cover forgiveness, money concerns, career choices, panic attacks, or questions about life purpose. She helps people set realistic tasks, review what worked, and adjust plans so progress stays achievable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely, ask focused questions, and help you set goals based on what you say. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and uses exercises to change them; it works well over video or phone where homework and thought records can be reviewed together.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will meet you where you are, talk about what feels most urgent, and suggest approaches to try. Together you will pick methods that fit your goals and test them in weekly work, adjusting as you go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill coaching, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging is helpful for short check-ins or quick practice of skills. These options make it easier to get consistent care around busy schedules and life demands.
