More about Catherine
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Arkansas with 4 years of professional work experience. I am fully bilingual (English and Spanish). I graduated from John Brown University with a Master’s of Science in Counseling. I work with children and adult individuals as well as families. I have experience working in inpatient crisis settings as well as outpatient settings, both online and in person. I help clients process and overcome their trauma as well as substance use, self-harm, suicidal, and homicidal ideations. I am EMDR trained (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), a technique which helps clients reprocess and heal from trauma or other distressing experiences in a way that is safe and healthy. I also enjoying doing sandtray play therapy with children or adults, as this is another non-verbal way to process and express emotions and find healing. My goal is to collaborate with clients and help them become the best version of themselves as they find safety and connection in relationships.

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.
