About Catherine Allen
Her therapeutic stance is client-centered, emphasizing respect, empathy, and a collaborative working relationship. She regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and set concrete goals. At times she integrates existential perspectives to help clients explore meaning and values as part of healing and growth.
As a counselor who also holds Christian beliefs, she does not use therapy as a means to proselytize; rather, she describes seeing the world through the teachings of Jesus while remaining open to people from many backgrounds. She seeks to meet each person where they are, establish rapport, and create an individualized plan of care. She values the strength it takes to reach out and considers it an honor to be invited into someone else’s growth. She is ready to support those who choose to begin that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Catherine Allen integrates several practical approaches to help clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental atmosphere so clients can explore feelings and priorities at their own pace - it is helpful for building insight, strengthening self-esteem, and addressing relationship or life-direction concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes immediate, achievable goals and strategies to produce change, which can be particularly useful for addressing parenting challenges, relationship issues, and specific coping needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together she and the client will adjust the plan as needed to support progress.
Online therapy provides flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face or voice-based conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging offer additional options for shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
