About Catherine
Catherine Allen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Tennessee with seven years of experience in counseling. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works with adults and children as noted in her background, using straightforward, practical methods to address today's problems.
Catherine uses a client-centered stance that focuses on listening and positive regard. She pairs that style with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on existential ideas when helpful, inviting reflection about meaning and values.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and skills. That can include spotting patterns of thought, testing new behaviors between sessions, and setting small goals that build momentum. Catherine describes her role as someone who builds rapport and then helps put together a clear plan of work.
She integrates her personal Christian worldview into her approach, while stating she does not use therapy to proselytize. She reports experience with clients from many backgrounds and says she adapts to each person’s starting point. People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations about change often choose this style.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based payment structure can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It focuses on concrete skills such as tracking moods, testing beliefs in small experiments, and practicing new responses between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, positive regard, and building rapport so clients feel understood before moving to practical changes. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, achievable steps and short-term goals to create momentum and measurable progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss needs, goals, and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process may involve mixing CBT skills with client-centered conversation and short solution-focused tasks.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins when a shorter meeting is helpful. These practical benefits help people integrate therapy tasks into daily life while working with a licensed professional to test what works for them.
