About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, and issues related to intimacy and sexual culture. She also supports people facing work stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
She began her career in a residential treatment program for adolescents and later worked in community health, substance abuse residential treatment, and private practice. That range of settings shaped a practical approach to problems that often feel urgent or overwhelming. She uses straightforward strategies to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and make manageable changes.
Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also draws on the Gottman Method and mindfulness techniques when these fit a person's goals. Sessions focus on concrete skills - adjusting unhelpful thoughts, building communication habits, and practicing coping tools between meetings.
Catherine commonly addresses relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, blended family issues, and commitment questions. She also works with people around addiction, body image, sexual identity and kink-related concerns, and family of origin or parenting difficulties.
People who work with her can expect a collaborative, active process. She helps set clear goals, identifies steps to try, and revises plans as needed based on what works. To begin, she asks people to describe goals and current barriers so sessions can focus on the most useful strategies.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit-driven problems. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and stabilizing reactions in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, current problems, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as different skills are tried and evaluated together.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in moments that reflect their everyday life, then bring observations back to the next meeting for review.
