Catherine Mishoe , LPC

Catherine Mishoe is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship troubles, and parenting strain. Catherine also helps people facing grief, trauma, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. She takes a straightforward, caring approach in sessions. Catherine listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she works with clients to set clear, practical goals and chooses strategies that fit their life and preferences. Catherine is comfortable talking about alternative sexual lifestyles, including BDSM and kink, and treats those topics as a normal part of a person's life when they come up. She supports people who want to address sexual concerns alongside other issues without needing to explain common terms or worry about judgment. Her work draws on client-centered discussions, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas. That mix helps people learn new ways to cope, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and try small experiments between sessions. Therapies are adjusted as goals evolve. People come to Catherine for a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including body image, codependency, commitment worries, chronic illness or pain, and challenges related to blended families and divorce. She also supports those navigating ADHD, attachment or abandonment issues, and career or life transitions. Catherine emphasizes collaboration and respect in the room. She invites clients to move at their own pace while working toward clearer choices and better daily routines. If someone wants practical steps and steady support, she helps map a path forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities through empathic listening and shared planning. It helps when someone needs a therapist who will follow their lead and tailor sessions to what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thought patterns and behavior loops and replaces them with practical skills. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it provides clear tools to practice between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate in close relationships. It can be especially helpful for intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor the mix of strategies to each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often best for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or quick support between sessions. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
