Catherine Barbour , LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. Catherine Barbour works with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and a range of family and parenting concerns. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Catherine draws on past work in outdoor therapeutic programs, in-home family counseling, and hospital-based medical social work. That variety shaped a straightforward style focused on real-life problems. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals and trying concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach starts with listening. Catherine uses Client-Centered techniques to understand each person’s experience and priorities. She then offers CBT and solution-focused tools to change thought patterns and build practical skills.

When trauma or loss is part of the story, she integrates trauma-focused methods to address safety and coping. Existential therapy is used when people want to examine meaning, life purpose, or big transitions.

Catherine often works with parents and people handling caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness, grief, and addiction concerns. She also supports those managing ADHD, panic attacks, anger, and low self-esteem.

Practical concerns like communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, loneliness, and end-of-life questions are part of her caseload. Clients can expect a paced, goal-oriented process with attention to strengths and problem-solving.
