Catherine Mishoe, LPC

Catherine Mishoe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and the stress of major life changes. Her practice is described as caring and interactive, with an emphasis on building trust so clients can speak openly about sensitive topics.

She is comfortable discussing alternative sexual lifestyles, including kink and BDSM, and frames those interests as normal parts of life. That means clients can address both kink-related and non-kink concerns without needing to explain terminology or fearing judgment. Catherine aims to make the therapy space straightforward and respectful.

Catherine uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. She adapts how she works to match each person’s goals and situation, blending methods as needed rather than following a single script. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical.

Across 16 years she has helped people manage anger, impulse control, parenting strain, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and work- or career-related stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and complicated family dynamics like blended households or divorce and separation.

Catherine emphasizes clear goals and respectful conversation. Her aim is to support people as they explore feelings, try new behaviors, and find ways to cope that fit their lives. If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers steady guidance through that process.

How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered work focuses on listening with respect and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name feelings and improve emotional connection; it can be helpful for intimacy concerns and relationship stress.

Choosing a therapy style is a team effort. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will try approaches that feel right. That collaborative process allows methods to be adjusted over time if something isn’t working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep work consistent with daily routines.
