About Catherine

Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinician with two social work licenses and two decades of experience. She practices in New Mexico and brings a steady focus to common problems like stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for people thinking about change.

She keeps the room straightforward and practical. Catherine listens first, then helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions are meant to be a space to talk through feelings and reactions without judgment. Her style is collaborative and calm rather than directive or rushed.

Over 20 years she has worked with many issues that can wear a person down. These include trauma and abuse, addiction and substance concerns, mood disorders, and sleeping problems. She also addresses career stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to chronic illness and pain.

Catherine uses approaches that help people notice patterns and try small changes. She draws on Client-Centered ways of working alongside more structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing also appear in sessions when they fit the client’s goals.

People who prefer clear steps and a listening ear often find her approach useful. The therapist asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and suggests doable skills to try between meetings. Those who value steady support and practical strategies will recognize what she offers before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people find their own priorities and solutions, which can be useful for relationship concerns, grief, and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep troubles.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication for people feeling overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try practices and homework between sessions so work in daily life can be directly addressed.
