Catherine Pither, LPC

Catherine Pither is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Connecticut with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and the emotional fallout from loss. She also helps people managing parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and family-related pressures.

She focuses on the effects that traumatic events and unresolved grief can have on everyday life. That can show up as sleeplessness, low mood, trouble connecting with others, or feeling stuck after a separation or major change. Catherine draws on her personal and professional experience with grief to inform her work.

In sessions she aims to create space for people to talk through painful memories and current tensions. She listens for patterns around attachment, abandonment fears, and communication breakdowns. From there she helps identify small steps clients can try between sessions to feel less overwhelmed.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with methods that address emotions and relationships. She uses elements of emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based work alongside narrative and solution-focused techniques. This mix is used to help people name painful feelings, shift unhelpful stories about themselves, and try practical ways to cope.

People often come to her when parenting, relationship stress, or past trauma make daily life harder. To begin, she asks a few questions about current concerns and what someone hopes to change. That helps shape a plan for the first few sessions.
