About Catherine

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. She frames therapy around strengths and practical strategies, helping clients address mood concerns, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and family-related challenges.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on collaboration, Catherine tailors interventions to the individual needs and goals presented in each session. Her background includes work in outdoor therapeutic programs for adolescents, in-home family counseling, and medical social work in hospital settings.

That range of experience informs a flexible, trauma-informed style suited to issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, panic, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and communication or blended family difficulties. Catherine aims to combine brief, targeted techniques with longer-term support when needed to help people manage life transitions and rebuild a sense of purpose and self-worth.

Approaches that guide online sessions

CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive thinking; it often includes practical exercises and skills practice between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving space for clients to explore feelings and values while the therapist supports self-directed growth and increased self-understanding. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing and resolving the impacts of traumatic experiences through approaches tailored to each person’s needs and pacing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will collaborate with clients to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. These options can make ongoing care more accessible for people balancing work, family, or health concerns while still focusing on practical skills, communication, and coping strategies taught in sessions.
