About Catherine
Catherine Towne-Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 41 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationships, family issues, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people working on communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, money and financial issues, panic attacks, workplace problems, and challenges common in young adulthood.
Catherine uses straightforward, person-centered work. She listens and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions aim to break down problems into steps that can be tried between meetings. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try different responses. She also uses client-centered ideas to follow each person’s priorities and solution-focused techniques to identify practical next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed.
In a typical session she helps people identify a small goal, reviews what has been tried, and practices concrete skills. She works with people who want practical plans for stress, grief, relationship tension, and career decisions. The emphasis is on clear steps, not long explanations.
People who choose her often want active, organized conversations and tools to use between sessions. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session are used to set goals and create a simple plan for moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. It uses exercises and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s priorities, helping them clarify decisions about parenting, career, or relationships. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, calming panic, and improving communication during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Catherine will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative decision and adjusts tactics as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow practicing skills in everyday settings and reviewing homework between sessions. Ask about current formats when arranging the first appointment so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.
