About Catherine

Catherine "Caitie" Mahaney is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, and depression. She draws on a client-centered style and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people find what works for them. Caitie aims to make therapy feel like a steady, patient partnership.

She brings ten years of professional experience in New York to each session. That background includes helping people with parenting strain and compassion fatigue as well as work-related stress.

Background and approach

Caitie also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, communication problems, and challenges linked to autism spectrum traits. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Caitie listens for strengths and builds small, doable steps clients can try between visits.

She uses straightforward CBT techniques when changing unhelpful thoughts and habits will help, and leans on a client-centered stance to follow the person’s priorities. People often come with short-term crises or longer patterns they want to change. Caitie helps with seasonal mood shifts, self-worth, forgiveness, and the pressures that come with caregiving.

She also works with young adult issues and women’s concerns in practical ways. Her approach is collaborative: clients set the pace and the focus. Caitie helps name problems, try new strategies, and track what’s helpful over time.

Her style is calm, realistic, and respectful of each person’s life demands.

How Caitie Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In practice this means noticing stressful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities, creating space for people to be heard and to decide what to work on.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief, ongoing contact between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress steady over time.
