Cathryn Fletcher

Cathryn Fletcher is a licensed professional counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, career concerns, and relationship or communication problems. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps that people can use between sessions.

She draws on ten years of experience working with adults and adolescents. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill building, and noticing what gets in the way of change. Cathryn uses tools that help people manage strong emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and increase day-to-day functioning.

Her work blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. She also uses client-centered listening and elements of dialectical behavior work to support emotional regulation. This mix is adapted to each person’s situation rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Cathryn often helps clients tackle body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and problems with control or commitment. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and disruptive mood patterns. Conversations cover practical skills, values, and small, achievable steps toward change.

Therapy begins with understanding what matters most to the client and setting realistic, measurable goals. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings and on tracking progress. If you are unsure which route will help, Cathryn works collaboratively to create a plan that fits your needs and daily life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on concrete strategies such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and building new routines that reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

Mindfulness-based approaches encourage present-moment awareness and gentle attention to emotions and sensations. These practices support stress reduction, improved emotion regulation, and clearer decision making.

Finding the right fit is a shared process. Cathryn will work together with each client to decide which approaches seem most likely to help based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. That collaborative plan can change as therapy progresses and as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session during a lunch break or between errands.
