Mary-Catherine Nimphius is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are weighed down by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work centers on practical steps people can use each day to cope and feel steadier.
She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and helps people notice small shifts that add up over time.
Her work often addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to gender and LGBT identity. Mary-Catherine also supports people dealing with eating and body image problems, caregiver stress, and career or life-purpose questions. She pays attention to how family of origin and communication styles shape current struggles.
Clinically, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used flexibly to help people build coping skills, notice emotions, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Her style is collaborative and validating. She works with each person to set realistic goals and practical tools they can try between sessions. To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How certain therapies translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It uses mindfulness skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to test new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of impulsivity and conflict keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and she will help adjust techniques to what actually helps.
