About Catherine
Catherine Ogletree is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with seven years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, career questions, and depression.
Catherine focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test small changes, and build better habits. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on workable strategies and problem solving.
When family or parenting issues come up, she helps an individual sort priorities and set boundaries. She talks through communication patterns and offers tools to reduce day-to-day conflict. For people facing life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts, she breaks problems into manageable parts and identifies next steps.
She also addresses self-harm, social anxiety, workplace stress, and women's concerns in focused sessions. Catherine combines short-term problem solving with skills practice that can help with coping and mood management. Her approach centers on clear goals, pacing that fits the person, and measurable next steps.
To begin, she asks about current struggles, recent attempts to change, and what a reasonable next step would look like. People leave sessions with concise action items they can try between meetings and return to review progress.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. It focuses on small, practical experiments and behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and next steps. It looks for what is already working and builds short-term plans to move toward specific goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest an approach to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what is most useful.
