About Catherine
Catherine Stoddard is an LCSW who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and trauma. She offers a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk about hard things and look for workable steps forward. Catherine presents herself as approachable and steady in session, focused on the here-and-now needs of each person.
She uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people change patterns that cause pain. Sessions often include practical tools to manage symptoms, short-term goals to guide progress, and space to reflect on deeper life themes such as purpose and self-worth. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
With five years working as a licensed clinical social worker, Catherine brings several years of mental health therapy experience to her practice. Her background in social work means she has supported people in multiple roles across different settings before focusing on direct therapy work.
Catherine draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, crisis intervention, and brief solution-focused methods. She blends these to fit what each person needs rather than following a single method.
People who prefer practical strategies alongside chances to explore meaning and relationships may find her approach useful. She aims to collaborate on realistic steps for change and to help clients build resilience and clearer direction in life.
