About Catherine

Catherine Wasson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make conversations clear and manageable for busy parents and adults. Catherine holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and works from Virginia.

Her practice focuses on practical steps and steady support. She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive ideas that look at thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

She also uses solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with grounding and emotion regulation. Catherine emphasizes an interactive, nonjudgmental approach.

Sessions are shaped to each person rather than following a rigid plan. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works to create a calm, respectful space for honest talk. She has seven years of experience supporting people with parenting stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, career crossroads, and relationship or intimacy issues.

Additional focus areas include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges faced by first responders. In a typical session she listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps. Therapy can include skill practice between sessions and brief coaching for real-world problems.

The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Online support

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work

Her practice combines client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around each person’s priorities, which helps when someone needs to focus on parenting or work stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and adds concrete tools to reduce anxiety or lift mood. EMDR is used to help people process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional charge, when that fits the person’s goals.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Catherine will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that seem likely to help. Together they check what’s working and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and goal-focused.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session feel, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins, short coaching, or stepping through brief skills between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
