More about Cathleen
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have worked in the child welfare arena where I provided counseling to children, adolescents and their families around abandonment, trauma, abuse, neglect and the gamut of emotions that surround that population. I have also provided therapy to mothers who have involvement in the child welfare system. Beyond that, I have provided therapy for young adults trying to navigate life and develop a successful plan for their future. I have counseled adults with depression, anxiety and concerns around self-esteem and self-love. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
