About Catherine
Catherine Denham is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through hard times. She practices in Florida and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her work focuses on listening closely and helping people find practical ways forward.
She often helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around addiction. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, relationship problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Catherine pays attention to how attachment and early experiences shape current struggles. Her approach is warm and client-centered. She helps people identify what matters to them and then uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns.
She also draws on dialectical skills when emotions feel overwhelming and on attachment-based ideas for relationship concerns. Catherine’s past work includes outpatient, inpatient and school-based settings as well as in-home services and telehealth. That variety shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations.
She aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace they can manage. Sessions are conversational and practical. Catherine helps people list clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and notice gradual changes.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady encouragement while clients work toward greater balance and calm.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often uses skills, short exercises, and structured practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with stress, anger, and coping with strong emotions by building steady habits of awareness.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together so sessions remain useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contact when that helps. These options make it easier to try different ways of working and keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.
