Catherine Kolleth, LPCC, LMFT

Catherine Kolleth is a licensed professional clinical counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist in Ohio. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and offers a warm, interactive style that centers the person's goals. Catherine aims to listen first and then help people move toward clearer choices and practical changes.

She began her career in a residential program for adolescents and later worked in community mental health, substance abuse residential treatment, and private practice. That range of settings shaped her work with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and healing after trauma or abuse. Midlife crisis and coping with life changes are among the areas she supports people through.

Catherine uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on identifying what a person wants to change, trying small steps that fit daily life, and finding ways to solve problems when they arise. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Her approach also draws on systems thinking and the Gottman method ideas when relationship dynamics are part of the work. Mindfulness techniques are used to manage stress and emotional intensity. Catherine partners with each person to build a plan that feels realistic and personal.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens, helps set clear goals, and supports steady progress. She encourages a collaborative pace so changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to name their goals and priorities, then helps them move toward those goals at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Catherine will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending listening-focused work with skills-based CBT tools or mindfulness practices over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings or choose audio-only if video feels like too much. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches online so the work stays focused on practical changes and building coping skills.
