About Catherine
Catherine Pither is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who are struggling after traumatic events and loss. She focuses on calming anxiety, easing depression, and guiding clients through grief and sleeplessness. People who come to her often want a steady, compassionate presence while they sort through hard emotions.
Her approach starts with listening. Catherine offers a supportive space where clients can share their stories and name what feels overwhelming. She pays attention to how trauma and loss affect daily life, sleep, relationships, and self-worth, and then works with clients to find manageable steps forward.
Catherine draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to prioritize the client's experience, emotionally-focused work to address relationship and attachment concerns, and mindfulness techniques to help with stress and sleep. Narrative and solution-focused tools are used to reframe problems and set concrete goals.
With six years of experience as an LPC in Connecticut, she combines personal insight into grief with clinical practice. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, with attention to what will help a person feel steadier day to day. Catherine also addresses related issues such as body image, eating concerns, caregiver stress, and communication struggles.
She invites prospective clients to ask questions and to arrange an initial meeting. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a time that fits the client's needs.
Approaches That Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience first. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps when people need steady support after loss or trauma.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps people identify and shift emotional responses that cause distance or repeated conflict, which can be useful when intimacy or communication are strained.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and improve sleep. These skills can help break cycles of rumination and make daily routines feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is often part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and comfort level. That collaborative process lets the plan change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a workday, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss practical needs with the therapist to identify the best way to fit therapy into everyday life.
