Catherine Barbour , LCSW

Catherine Barbour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the emotional impact of health issues.

She uses a strengths-based, client-centered approach. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. She blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to help with symptoms and everyday problems.

Catherine has practiced in outdoor therapeutic programs, provided in-home counseling, and worked as a medical social worker in a hospital system. Those roles gave experience with teens, parents, older adults, and people coping with chronic illness or injury. She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance concerns, and caregiver stress.

In the room, she treats each person as an individual. Conversations tend to be practical and goal oriented, with room to process feelings about loss, identity, or life transitions. She helps clients map small changes that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. With four years of post-licensure experience, Catherine focuses on helping people manage life changes, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and the emotional effects of chronic pain or illness.

People who want clear steps, empathetic listening, and help reconnecting with life purpose often look for this style of care. To begin, prospective clients can complete the site intake and schedule an initial meeting.

Approach-driven online care that fits daily life

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when a person wants a collaborative, values-focused space to talk through stress, family issues, or life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and coping with health-related stress by teaching practical tools to manage symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those aims. That means sessions can shift over time toward problem-solving, processing difficult events, or building daily routines that reduce strain. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use shorter sessions for quick check-ins or choose longer meetings for deeper work, depending on what fits their schedule and needs.
