About Catherine

Catherine Pither is a licensed professional counselor who helps people navigate the emotional aftermath of trauma and loss. She supports clients who face anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, and challenges with intimacy or relationships. Catherine aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can focus on healing.

Catherine draws on approaches that center emotions and personal stories. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name and shift painful emotional patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities in the room. Mindfulness and narrative work are tools she brings into sessions when they help. Mindfulness practices can ground someone who feels overwhelmed.

Narrative techniques help people reframe and make sense of difficult events in their life story. Catherine has six years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential - licensed professional counselor. She combines that clinical background with her own experience of grief to better understand how loss can affect daily life.

Her practice welcomes people dealing with stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, body image or eating concerns, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with separation, attachment wounds, dissociation, and other trauma-related responses. Catherine works from Connecticut and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches Catherine names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Emotion-focused methods adapted for online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify and work with core emotions that shape relationship and personal patterns. In brief, EFT guides people to notice painful feelings, name what they need from those feelings, and try new ways of responding that reduce stuck cycles.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience and pace. The therapist follows each person’s lead, listens closely, and reflects what is most important so clients feel understood and can decide what to change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. These skills are useful for anxiety, dissociation, and regulating strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with each person to test what helps most, adjust methods as needs evolve, and set goals together rather than imposing a single path.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video mimics an in-person conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular work on healing while juggling family, work, or health needs.
