About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and an Ohio LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, addictions, parenting stress, and family of origin issues. Catherine also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related problems, and career-related stress.
She began her career in adolescent residential treatment and moved through community mental health, substance abuse residential care, and private practice. Those roles gave her experience with a wide range of problems, from mood disorders and substance use to communication and commitment challenges. She has worked with clients from LGBTQ communities and with people who report physical or emotional harm in their past.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practice. Expect conversations that focus on current problems, useful skills, and specific steps you can try between meetings. Sessions aim to identify small changes and test them in daily life.
Catherine pays attention to family patterns and how early roles and expectations still shape behavior now. She helps people map those patterns, name the effects, and work on new ways of relating and responding. Work can include addressing blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, infidelity, or control and communication problems.
Her background across residential and outpatient settings informs a practical, problem-solving approach. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them identify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for intense emotions and interpersonal conflict.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Catherine will discuss methods and try strategies that fit a person's goals and daily life. Together they decide which tools to use and adjust them based on what works in session and between meetings.
The practical upside of online work is making sessions fit into the week more easily. Before booking, confirm which session formats she currently offers. Many people find remote sessions help with scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a lunch break or quiet moment. Some formats are simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited, while others suit longer work on communication skills. Confirm the available options when you sign up so sessions match your needs.
