About Catherine
Catherine Kolleth is a clinician who blends practical, person-focused methods to help people manage relationship strain, mood struggles, and life transitions. She holds LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) credentials in Ohio and has practiced for 12 years.
Background and approach
Catherine creates a straightforward, respectful space where goals are set together and steps for change are clear. She often draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication problems.
She also uses client-centered techniques to follow the client's lead and build on strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in everyday life.
Her background includes work in adolescent residential treatment, community mental health, substance abuse residential programs, and independent practice. That variety shaped her approach to addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns.
She has supported people facing grief, career stress, and challenges related to identity and intimacy. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth.
Catherine helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and solve problems between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, blended family dynamics, and complex issues like infidelity, jealousy, and body image.
Therapy can include talk, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises tailored to each person. Catherine emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude while helping clients take manageable steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Catherine commonly uses the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and rebuild connection by helping people notice interaction habits and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions by following what matters most to the person, creating space for their priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday situations, which can lead to measurable changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. Together they decide which strategies to try first and review progress over time so the plan stays aligned with the client's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work on relationship skills, coping strategies, and emotional regulation from wherever the client is located.
