I just started with Catherine. She is very well spoken and easily relatable. Although we have just begun, I can tell that in the future she will help me further analyze situations that come up to help me deal with them in a healthy manner.
More about Catherine

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in New Jersey, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex transitions and emotional challenges. My professional approach centers on compassionate, holistic care for adults navigating diverse experiences—from young adulthood through midlife and beyond.
I have extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, parenting issues and grief. My practice focuses on helping clients work through communication difficulties, feelings of isolation, and challenges related to life purpose. I'm particularly skilled in supporting women's issues, family dynamics, relationship transitions like divorce, and caregiver stress.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of sensitive experiences, including fertility challenges, pregnancy, aging, family of origin concerns, and end-of-life support. I approach each client's journey with deep empathy, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and rediscover personal strength.
Through collaborative, personalized counseling, I aim to help clients understand themselves more deeply and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being and personal growth.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
