About Spyros
Dr. Spyros Catechis brings 25 years of counseling experience to his work in Texas. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, and life changes. He has worked in independent practice and educational settings. That background gives him a practical sense of how everyday life and work pressures affect mood and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and real-life steps clients can try between meetings. Dr. Catechis mixes straightforward conversation with structured techniques.
He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help clients reframe problems and try small experiments that can lead to quick relief.
Systemic approaches are used when it helps to map patterns across relationships and roles. He aims for sessions that feel humane and usable, not abstract. Parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck often come with practical concerns.
He helps people build coping skills, reduce panic or social anxiety symptoms, and explore life purpose. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on tools that fit daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online support
Client-Centered Therapy starts from what matters most to the person and emphasizes careful listening and collaboration; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes, which is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and stress management.The right approach is often discovered together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative - plans get adjusted based on what helps and what feels doable in your daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their schedule. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break from work. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking.
Those options make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to try tools in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to whichever format you choose, helping therapy stay practical and flexible.
