Catherine Kluge , LPC

Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a client-centered approach. She emphasizes listening and respect to help people move toward their goals. Catherine draws on many years of experience to meet people where they are and help them find practical steps forward.

She has worked in hospitals, community mental health, and substance use treatment settings over a long career. That range of experience shaped how she supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, and challenges tied to parenting or workplace stress.

Catherine uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that cause pain. She blends that with motivational interviewing to support people who want to make big life changes. Narrative and mindfulness tools are used to clarify values and reduce overwhelm in daily life.

Her practice includes work with mood disorders, panic, ADHD, postpartum concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing co-morbidity, codependency, domestic violence histories, and substance use problems. Women’s issues are among the topics she lists as a focus.

Catherine keeps sessions grounded and direct. She pays attention to the strengths that brought each person this far, then helps build new strategies for coping and better functioning. Her style is steady, respectful, and aimed at practical progress.

How therapeutic methods work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily stressors because it gives clear steps to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. It can help with stress, overwhelm, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and collaboration to help find solutions that fit each client.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying a mix of CBT, mindfulness, or client-centered work and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
