She uses a straightforward style to help people facing addiction, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and sleep difficulties.

With 29 years of clinical experience, Catalina draws on many real-world referrals and interventions that fit everyday life. She focuses on clear goals such as reducing symptoms, improving motivation, and repairing close connections. Sessions often look at current problems, workable coping skills, and small experiments to test what helps.
Catalina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. She applies this to concerns like anxiety, mood shifts, eating challenges, and sleep problems. The approach is aimed at tangible changes rather than long lectures.
She also offers support around grief and hospice or end-of-life concerns, helping people name what matters and plan next steps. Conversations may include setting routines, managing stress, and addressing practical needs that affect rest and daily functioning.
Catalina keeps language clear and the pace steady. She encourages people to try small changes and notice results. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How CBT and practical therapy translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions this can look like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing a new behavior, and tracking how that change affects mood and sleep. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and eating concerns.Catalina emphasizes straightforward, skills-based work. That means setting clear goals together, trying short experiments between visits, and using simple routines to support rest and daily functioning. This collaborative approach helps clients notice what works and adjust plans quickly.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow quick check-ins, and make it possible to keep continuity of care if circumstances change. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so they match your needs. A therapist will help decide which approach and session rhythm fit your goals and daily life.
