About Catherine

Catherine Kolleth combines cognitive and relational tools to help clients navigate emotional and interpersonal challenges. As a dual-license clinician holding LPCC and LMFT credentials in Ohio, she draws on 12 years of experience across residential treatment, community mental health, substance abuse programs, and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside interpersonal methods to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma, and stress. Her approach is warm and collaborative, blending client-centered care with techniques from DBT, mindfulness, and the Gottman Method when helpful.

She attends to each person’s story without stigmatizing labels and supports goal-setting that reflects individual values and circumstances. Additional focus areas include kink and alternative sex culture, blended family dynamics, parenting and fatherhood issues, body image, infidelity, and coping with life transitions.

Catherine aims to help clients identify meaningful changes, build practical skills, and problem-solve obstacles so they can move toward greater balance and well-being.

Clinical Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change

CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own insights and goals, helping people feel heard and respected. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be beneficial for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore needs, preferences, and goals, and will combine techniques from different models when appropriate to create a personalized plan of care.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to access regular sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or plans change.
