About Catherine

Catherine Stoddard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit into busy lives. Catherine aims to make the first conversations feel manageable and focused on what matters most to the individual.

She uses brief, structured techniques alongside longer-term conversation to address pressing symptoms and patterns. Sessions often include goal setting, coping skills, and checking what works between meetings.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative - clients and Catherine decide what to try and adjust as needed. Catherine has five years of experience as a mental health practitioner and brings a background in multiple social work roles. That experience shaped a flexible approach to common concerns such as low self-esteem, isolation, and problems with communication.

She pays attention to how life stress and past hurts influence current choices. Her therapeutic style balances practical tools and deeper reflection. This can mean learning new coping habits one week and looking at long-standing patterns the next.

She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. Catherine works with each person at their own pace. She focuses on helping people build resilience and clearer direction.

The goal is steady progress toward the goals each person brings to therapy.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Catherine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many people benefit from approaches that teach practical skills and clarify goals. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational interviewing emphasizes a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful when addressing addictions or ambivalence about steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first, then adjust the plan based on progress, preferences, and life demands. The process is shared and goal oriented rather than fixed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and try approaches consistently.
