About Catherine

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience, Catherine Gentry helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She works from several evidence-informed approaches and focuses on building practical skills clients can use outside sessions.

Catherine sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses that view to guide sessions rather than imposing a fixed plan. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the client wants to change, and small, doable steps toward those goals.

Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action, and dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions. Attachment-based and client-centered methods shape how she builds trust and responds to relationship wounds.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Catherine helps people create routines, practice new skills, and check progress between meetings. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, dissociation, substance misuse, guilt and shame, and workplace stress.

Her approach aims to reduce symptoms while strengthening skills for long-term coping. People who want practical tools and clear next steps will find a focus on working through current problems and building sustainable habits. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches shape virtual sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It’s useful when someone feels stuck by anxiety, depression, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which is practical for anxiety, mood problems, and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current reactions, which can be relevant for codependency, abandonment concerns, and relational wounds.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine uses conversation and early sessions to learn about priorities, goals, and what techniques feel useful. She then suggests methods and adjusts them in response to the client’s needs and feedback so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring examples from daily routines into conversations. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and homework for virtual work, focusing on practical strategies clients can use between sessions.
