About Catherine
Catherine Wilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Catherine also supports people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, career stress, and intimacy-related problems.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered conversation and practical techniques. She uses short-term strategies from solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to help people set realistic goals. Trauma-focused methods are part of her toolkit when past experiences are affecting daily life.
Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. Catherine favors clear, structured steps and measurable goals. Conversations include skill practice, problem-solving, and deciding on small changes to try between sessions.
She emphasizes building rapport and trust as a foundation for change. That means straightforward feedback, active listening, and revisiting what’s working in each meeting. Catherine aims to make therapy a practical process rather than only a space for venting.
People who choose her often want concrete tools to handle stress, improve relationships, manage mood swings, or move through grief. To start, she asks about current concerns, recent attempts to cope, and what a successful next step would look like. This helps shape a focused plan for short- and longer-term work.
How Catherine blends structured approaches in remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and routines that maintain distress and then testing small behavioral experiments to see what changes. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation by breaking problems into concrete steps and homework tasks.Client-centered work prioritizes the persons own goals and perspectives, using reflective listening and open questions to clarify priorities. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation for one clear next step.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. Catherine will review your goals, past attempts, and what methods feel most useful. Together you decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, CBT skills, or trauma-focused methods as needed.
