Rev. Catherine Bogue, LCSW

Rev. Catherine Bogue, LCSW, brings nearly five decades of clinical experience to people facing midlife crossroads and other major life changes. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and the emotional fallout from trauma. Her tone is compassionate and steady, aiming to make hard conversations feel manageable one step at a time.

Her practice concentrates on practical support for everyday problems. She listens to each person's story and helps identify small, doable changes. Sessions often focus on coping skills, emotion regulation, and rebuilding a sense of purpose after loss or change.

Catherine uses a mix of well-known therapy approaches that match the person in front of her. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered methods to offer an empathic space. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy also inform her work when emotion regulation and relationships are central.

Her background includes long experience with veterans, older adults, and people recovering from sexual assault, domestic violence, and process addictions. She also supports those coping with hospice and end-of-life matters and people who are hearing impaired.

Located in Missouri, she combines decades of practice with a down-to-earth approach. The work is collaborative - she helps people set reachable goals and build skills they can use outside sessions.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for coping with life changes and midlife decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-judging relationship where the person’s own goals lead the work; this approach supports rebuilding confidence and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as things change.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to continue care when circumstances change. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based methods like ACT and CBT to online conversations, helping people practice skills and track progress between meetings.
