Cathy Henderson , LPC

Cathy Henderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. Cathy aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people feel heard and understood.

She takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. Cathy listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She emphasizes clear goals and small steps that can fit into a busy life.

Her background includes long experience supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, as well as those working through family of origin issues and codependency. She commonly addresses problems like abandonment, guilt, shame, and isolation, helping clients build steadier coping habits.

Cathy blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her focus both on immediate thoughts and behaviors, and on increasing present-moment awareness. Sessions often include talk, practical exercises, and skills to use between meetings.

She offers sessions in English by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits each person’s routine. Cathy encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the next step toward support.

How Cathy’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Cathy uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s perspective and priorities. That approach means sessions begin with active listening and collaboration to set goals that matter to the client.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Mindfulness therapy is another element she brings into sessions. It teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can ease stress and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings.
