Catherine Seger, LCPC

Catherine Seger is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 18 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and believes people bring strengths that help them manage hard things. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel practical and manageable.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, and coping with addictions. She also helps people who are dealing with depression, low self-esteem, or motivation struggles. Catherine supports those facing grief, anger, trauma and abuse, and life transitions that feel overwhelming.

In the room she uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those methods guide conversation toward values, present-moment choices, and practical changes in thinking and behavior. She keeps language simple and concrete so people can try ideas between sessions.

She also helps with issues tied to health and caregiving, including chronic pain, illness, and disability. Other focus areas include caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and women's issues. Catherine aims to tailor work to each person's situation rather than follow a single script.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered from her Illinois practice. The therapist asks new clients to use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, chronic health challenges, and life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the client's lead. This approach supports people who need a steady, understanding therapeutic relationship to sort through emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problems with motivation or coping skills.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helpful. Expect sessions to include conversation, exercises, and small between-session practices tailored to the person's everyday life.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit work or care routines more smoothly. It also allows shorter check-ins when full sessions are not needed and offers flexibility for people managing chronic pain, caregiving duties, or tight schedules.
