About Catherine
Catherine Gentry is an LPC licensed in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to notice patterns and try different responses.
Catherine centers sessions on the person's experience and strengths. She treats people as the experts on their own stories and builds work from what is already going well. Sessions tend to be direct and focused on small skills people can practice between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work to address how relationships and values shape choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be used when people need tools for regulating strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior.
Catherine has worked with issues related to abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, and substance use concerns. She also helps people facing guilt, shame, emptiness, questions about life purpose, and workplace stress. Her way of working emphasizes small, concrete changes that add up over time.
People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, practical exercises, and a focus on building skills. She encourages clients to try techniques, reflect on what helps, and adjust plans based on real results.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions with CBT, clients track thought patterns, try brief experiments, and review what changed between meetings. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based work looks at how relationship patterns influence reactions and helps people practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She uses client feedback to adjust techniques and mixes approaches when that better serves the work at hand.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to attending appointments. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep consistent meetings, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into everyday life.
