Cathryn Fletcher

Cathryn Fletcher is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults and adolescents who feel stuck or overwhelmed and those coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, or shifts like divorce and separation. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on practical steps people can try between sessions.

She personalizes care to fit each person’s situation rather than offering one fixed method. Sessions often focus on building awareness, learning coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, identify strengths, and set realistic goals for daily life.

Cathryn blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy to suit different needs. She also draws on client-centered and dialectical ideas to support emotion regulation and clearer communication. This mix gives room for both skills practice and deeper reflection.

Her background includes work with people facing anxiety, mood concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver stress, and career or financial worries. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, guilt and shame, and loneliness. The focus is on helping each person regain a sense of direction and usable tools for the next steps.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that emphasizes practical strategies, steady support, and attention to what matters most in day-to-day life.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values-based action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change mood and behavior; it often includes homework and skill practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help stress and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning can change over time as different needs arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills in real-life settings and applying tools between sessions to everyday situations.
