Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is one tool she uses to help people find motivation for change. That approach supports small, sustainable steps toward goals like improved routines or cutting back on unhealthy behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and helps people identify concrete solutions and build on what already works in their lives.
Cathy has an LCSW credential and about 10 years of professional experience in California. She has experience with trauma and emotional abuse and with many common concerns parents and adults bring into therapy. She keeps language simple and avoids clinical jargon.
People who choose Cathy can expect focused, respectful conversations and concrete coping strategies. She emphasizes collaboration and practical problem-solving rather than lectures or long-term analysis. Her approach suits those who want clear steps for reducing symptoms and improving daily routines.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy places your goals and preferences first and helps shape sessions around what matters to you. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and decide next steps. Motivational Interviewing helps people tap into their own reasons for change and break big goals into manageable steps. This approach can be helpful for issues like changing habits, addressing addictions, or improving routines that affect sleep and attention. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical solutions and small changes that make a difference fast. It works well when someone wants short-term, actionable ideas to improve daily functioning. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, try different methods, and adapt based on what helps. Clients and therapist collaborate to find the best fit rather than following a single method rigidly. Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and let you read body language. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.Questions people ask
