About Catherine

Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker with 47 years of practice based in Missouri who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She combines long experience with a compassionate, respectful stance that recognizes each person's history and current struggles. Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

Rather than applying a single technique, she tailors interventions to fit the presenting problem, life stage, and individual preferences.

Over her career she has also addressed related issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, co-morbidity, codependency, disaster-related coping, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance addiction, family-of-origin patterns, guilt and shame, hearing-impaired needs, hospice and end-of-life counseling, midlife crisis, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Sessions are offered in multiple online formats for clients who live in Missouri and for international clients who wish to work with her, and she brings a steady, empathic presence to help people develop practical strategies and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rev. Catherine Bogue draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility and support meaningful life changes.

She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so goals and methods are shaped together. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of strategies aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it possible to continue regular therapeutic work while accommodating busy lives, varied comfort levels, and geographic distance, supporting continuity of care and practical problem solving.
