Catherine Garvey is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California (CA LMFT 38333) with 28 years of professional experience.
She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, and the task of coping with life changes. As a non-religious, older female therapist, she approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Catherine individualizes conversation and treatment plans to fit each client’s specific needs and circumstances. She emphasizes support and empowerment, recognizing the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life and to begin making changes.
Many people ask whether remote therapy actually helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that’s video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit.
