About Catherine
Catherine Ogletree is an LPC practicing in Virginia who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, career transitions, depression, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also focuses on issues such as divorce and separation, midlife crisis, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and workplace difficulties. Drawing on seven years of clinical experience, she works to understand each person’s situation and priorities before tailoring a plan of care.
Her style centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate engagement; she aims to create an environment where clients feel heard and empowered to make change. Catherine uses practical, evidence-informed tools and adapts conversations and interventions to match individual needs, helping clients identify realistic goals and steps toward them.
She emphasizes collaboration and supports clients through the often challenging process of building a more fulfilling life. Catherine frames progress as a series of attainable steps rather than dramatic overnight shifts, and she attends to both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns.
Prospective clients in Virginia can expect a thoughtful, person-centered approach that balances structure with empathy.
Practical therapeutic approaches via online sessions
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on recognizing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them, which can support day-to-day coping and gradual mood improvement.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and immediate goals, guiding brief, targeted conversations about what is already working and how to build on it. This approach can be useful for people seeking focused, goal-oriented support for relationship concerns, workplace issues, or life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they review progress and adjust techniques as necessary to keep the work relevant and effective.
Online therapy with this practitioner is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and session format. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to select the communication style that fits a client's routine and comfort level.
