About Catherine
Catherine Wasson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. She offers a direct, respectful style and aims to make conversations feel practical and manageable. Catherine’s manner is warm and straightforward, so people can focus on solving real problems rather than on labels.
She brings seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Catherine uses a mix of approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. She adapts her plan to each person instead of using the same steps for everyone.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses concrete exercises and coping tools people can try between meetings. When trauma is part of the picture she may include structured processing methods alongside grounding and mindful skills.
Catherine holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and practices in Virginia. Her style values collaboration - she and the person seeking help set goals together and adjust the work as needed. She aims to make progress feel measurable and practical.
If someone wants to begin, Catherine asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
