About Catherine

Catherine Denham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and parenting struggles. Catherine aims to create a respectful, attentive space where clients feel heard and understood.

Her work has taken place across outpatient clinics, inpatient and residential settings, schools, and in-home services. She has also provided telehealth care. This range gives her practical insight into different life situations and service settings.

Catherine's approach is warm and invitational. She uses client-centered methods to help people speak for themselves and make choices that fit their values. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are part of sessions when they match a client's needs. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress, reduce reactivity, and improve focus. Sessions are aimed at small, achievable steps rather than big, sudden changes.

People come to Catherine for many challenges including grief, coping with life changes, relationship strain, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She works to empower clients so they can handle daily pressures and longer transitions. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how someone connects, and then practice different responses to reduce distress in relationships.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and supporting a person's own goals. In telehealth conversations Catherine follows the client's lead to help them clarify values and make practical choices that fit their life.

Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. These techniques are often used to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress by practicing new habits between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Catherine will help clients decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as work progresses.

The therapist has provided telehealth in her experience, but specific session formats are not listed here. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and support steady momentum between appointments.
