Catherine Desponett

Catherine Desponett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Colorado who supports individuals as they navigate complex emotional experiences and relationship patterns. She works to create a compassionate, affirming setting where clients can explore what is weighing on them, recognize their strengths, and move toward meaningful change. With 10 years of experience, she helps people address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, addiction, and major life transitions.

Her work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Therapy. This blend can support emotional regulation, steadier coping, and more satisfying connection with others. Catherine collaborates closely with clients to shape practical, individualized strategies for healing, growth, and self-discovery, while maintaining a supportive, non-judgmental tone throughout the process.

She is especially committed to serving diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those facing significant life changes. Grounded in values-based living, emotional resilience, and holistic well-being, her approach encourages movement away from survival patterns and toward more intentional, fulfilling ways of living. Influenced by Positive Psychology and strengths-based perspectives, Catherine helps clients build self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence in their ability to change. She views therapy as a collaborative, creative process where people can reconnect with their strengths, rework their narratives, and realign with integrity, connection, and purpose.
