About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is an Ohio LPCC and an Ohio LMFT with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and issues related to intimacy and LGBT identity. Catherine lists family and parenting among her focus areas and often supports people dealing with blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, and parenting strain.
She began her career in a residential treatment program for adolescents and later worked in community mental health, substance abuse residential treatment, and private practice. Those settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems and crisis moments. Her background includes work with people facing substance misuse, emotional or physical trauma, and complex family histories.
Catherine uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior therapy skills. She also draws on systems ideas and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are being addressed. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills for emotion regulation, and practical problem solving for life at home.
In the room she listens for where small changes could reduce conflict or lessen stress. Therapy can include communication practice, coping strategies for anxiety or anger, and step-by-step plans for addressing addictions or relapse triggers. She also talks through difficult feelings after loss and helps people repair or rethink close relationships.
People can expect straightforward collaboration about goals and next steps. Catherine asks about what is already working, what feels risky to change, and what small shifts could make daily life more manageable. The emphasis is on usable skills and realistic plans rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How Catherine's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize listening, clarifying needs, and shaping a plan around what the client says matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In an online session CBT is often used to identify patterns, practice new responses, and assign brief exercises to do between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for managing intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online DBT work can include skill coaching, emotion regulation practice, and concrete communication techniques useful at home.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Catherine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and keeping work concise and focused. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Many people find online work makes it easier to attend regular sessions, try out homework between meetings, and apply new skills directly in their everyday life.
