Catherine Edwards, LMFT

Catherine Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Catherine also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, and divorce or separation.

Catherine uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make change. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems active. She also uses Emotionally-Focused work and elements of the Gottman Method to address emotional connection and communication in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy appear in sessions when they fit the goals.

In a typical session she helps people notice what's not working, try small experiments, and practice new ways of interacting. Conversations focus on concrete steps rather than long theory. She pays attention to family of origin issues and how past patterns show up in day-to-day relationships.

Catherine encourages adults who carry guilt, shame, or the strain of caregiving to name what feels heavy and take manageable next steps. She supports people working through fatherhood issues, control or impulsivity struggles, and problems tied to loss or forgiveness. Catherine aims to help clients build clearer communication and greater emotional awareness.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the fit feels right. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
