About Catherine
Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker based in Missouri who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and trauma. She draws on a long career to offer steady, practical support for people facing big life changes and painful losses.
Her approach is direct and compassionate. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding steps that fit their life. She uses several therapy methods to help people build coping skills, manage difficult emotions, and make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
Across her years of practice she has helped people with intimate and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and co-occurring medical or mental health conditions.
She offers support for those dealing with substance use, codependency, domestic violence, post-traumatic symptoms, dissociation, and recovery after sexual assault. Her work includes help for people affected by natural or human-caused disasters and for veterans and armed forces issues. In session she uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
With 47 years of experience and an LCSW credential, she aims to provide clear guidance and practical tools to help people move forward.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while tolerating uncomfortable feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often includes practical exercises and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding feelings and how they shape relationships and intimacy, offering ways to name emotions and respond differently so connections feel safer.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and circumstances shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let sessions feel close to in-person meetings while keeping things physically convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward change.
