Catherine Barbour is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida, holding the state license SW10227 and bringing four years of direct therapy experience to her work. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University in 1999 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2008.
Her professional background includes counseling teens in an outdoor therapeutic program, providing in-home services to children and families, and serving as a medical social worker within a hospital system. She has worked with adolescents, parents, older adults, and entire family systems, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, anger management, abuse and neglect among both children and adults, family communication and dynamics, grief and loss, and the effects of chronic health conditions on mental well-being.
Catherine uses an eclectic, strengths-based approach that incorporates solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-informed brief therapy. She approaches each person as an individual and views counseling as a place to address current difficulties while also working toward the life they hope to create. She welcomes the opportunity to support people as they begin their therapy journey.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while adapting to each person’s preferences and life demands.
