Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in IN, KY, and OH with 17 years of experience. I am also a compassionate person who is focused on looking at your strengths. Although, I don't just praise you needlessly, I look for times when you have had successes and encourage more of it. I use a mindful awareness approach of looking at thoughts and feelings in order to get a little space from them. I am also trained in trauma therapy, and do work with your inner child, when needed. I will be a partner in helping you figure out what is best for you.
I have a variety of experiences and training. I have a Master of Science in Social Work. In addition, I also have two years of training in mindfulness coaching. My experience includes working with people with depression, anxiety, career decisions, life decisions, death and dying, and family conflict. I have worked as a therapist in inpatient facilities, and outpatient facilities.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, & relationship issues. I work with individuals to align to a more fulfilling and happier life. Showing up and facing difficult thoughts and feelings takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I only work with adults individual. I don't do family therapy.
I also used mindfulness to help you deal with difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness has been researched for the past 60 years and has a profound impact on the spirit, mind, and body. I have been using mindfulness daily for the past 10 years.
If you are driving in another state or on vacation in another state that I'm not licensed in, I cannot see you that day. You will need to physically be in the state you live in order to have an appointment with me.
If you think I may be a good fit for you, reach out to me.
With compassion,
Catherine Hughes, LISW, LCSW

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
