About Catherine
Rev. Catherine Bogue is a Missouri LCSW with 47 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those facing major life changes and caregivers coping with compassion fatigue.
Her work is direct and practical. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. She uses clear exercises and conversation to build skills people can use outside sessions. Conversation may include problem solving, behavior changes, and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings.
Her background includes long experience with veterans, adults in midlife, and older adults. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use issues. That experience informs how she helps clients manage safety, boundaries, and relapse prevention.
She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy are among the approaches she uses when they fit a person’s goals. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when these match the concern.
Many clients come for help with family conflict, parenting strain, or blended family challenges. Other focus areas include hospice and end-of-life counseling, hearing-impaired clients, and issues that overlap with medical or aging concerns. Practical steps and clear goals guide the work.
To begin, she asks about current challenges and priorities. Early sessions clarify what is most important and set measurable, realistic steps to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly and approaches are adjusted as needed.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Rev. Catherine Bogue commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to change mood and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits related to substance use. ACT helps people notice thoughts and values, and then take committed steps toward the life they want despite difficult feelings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting what a person says. That approach helps when someone needs to sort through feelings and decide which practical steps to try next. The therapist will discuss which methods seem likely to help and make adjustments as the work progresses in collaboration with the client.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Sessions conducted remotely still follow the same goal-setting and skill-practice structure as in-person work, and choices about pacing and techniques are made together based on the client’s goals and preferences.
