Hello, and welcome to my page! I am Catherine, however most people just call me Cat. I can imagine that if you are on BetterHelp you are looking for some support and wondering what this site it all about! Life can be challenging, full of ups and downs, and sometimes change is difficult to manage! I want you to know that you are not alone, I am here for you, and together we can make it through!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I have worked as a therapist within the mental health profession since 2007. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from Appalachian State University and a master’s degree in social work from The University of South Carolina in Columbia. I love working with people and coming along beside them as a support through life's up's and down's. I have experiencing working in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress management, grief and loss, relationship issues, domestic violence, divorce care, spirituality, stress, anger management, family conflict, parenting, foster care support, overcoming conflict and challenges, and life coaching.
I would describe my approach as empathetic, supportive, and person centered. I often use techniques that are derived from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational interviewing to work with individuals and families. We will identify your current needs and/or challenges and work together to create goals that will help you reach your desired outcome.
Through my years in counseling, I have learned that one of the most important factors of success is making a connection and feelings comfortable with the person you choose to work with. In addition, I feel like you are the expert of your life and you have the answers within yourself; however sometimes it take someone coming along beside you to provide the support needed to help guide you to find those answers. I would love to get to know you and to have the opportunity to be a support for you through this journey called life!

Cat has helped me over the past 2 years to get through the hardest times in my life. She gave me the tools I needed to successfully get to where I am today and even when I am no longer seeing her, I know I can go back to her and she can help me.

Catherine is a very good therapist and really does try to get to know her patients. She’s very good at responding quickly. She even was very helpful when she was out for a week for her own surgery, I felt like she was truly considered and ready to help me out again once she returned. Very loving therapist, I wish she could be cloned!

Cat has been helping me for almost a year now and I have been able to conquer so much in this past year. She has been with me through life events, every day life, and my anxiety/panic disorder. I don’t think i would’ve been able to do what I have done if it wasn’t for her help. She is super thoughtful and is genuinely concerned with my issues and checks up on me regularly, she’s truly a blessing.

Catherine is very attentive and always leaves the floor open for whatever I need to discuss at each session. It is helpful to have a therapist that stays on top of things and stays after me because I need encouragement! Talking about feelings is hard and she makes a a little easier, thank you!

Catherine is wonderful to work with.! She is great at listening, approaches a variety of issues with reassurance/kindness and without judgement, considered my background/interests/religious beliefs/other aspects of myself and used them to help me with my concerns/worry/anxiety/strategies to deal with my struggles, offers advice/strategies/resources for dealing with anxiety/relationships/communication/coping strategies/other topics, and answered messages quickly. She helped a lot, especially when I needed someone to vent to, talk things out with, ideas, or just reassurance. I would definitely recommend her to others!

I am glad I found Catherine at Faithful Counseling. She is very helpful and caring. I feel like she respects me and cares what I say and feel. It's nice she checks in with me because sometimes I am going through something and am not the kind of person to reach out all the time for help. So it is nice when I am having stress (or even when I am not) that she reaches out to see how I am doing. It's pretty nice :-) She's pretty thoughtful and helpful with suggestions and resources. I definitely appreciate her and the Faithful Counseling Service .
