About Catherine
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Utah with 5 years of experience, Catherine Stoddard helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Catherine uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people reduce symptoms and build day-to-day coping skills. She focuses on clear goals and concrete steps a person can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and aimed at helping someone notice what’s keeping problems going and what might change next.
Her background is in social work and five years of clinical practice as a mental health therapist. She has worked with people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. That experience informs how she structures sessions and prioritizes immediate, helpful strategies.
Catherine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses methods such as cognitive-behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to address thinking patterns and readiness to change. She also integrates brief solution-focused and crisis intervention approaches when the situation calls for focused, time-limited work.
In sessions she helps people sort communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Work typically includes setting small, measurable steps and reviewing progress. The emphasis is on practical change rather than abstract theory.

How evidence-based approaches guide remote sessions
First, cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods break problems into smaller parts and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors.Second, motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s readiness to change. It uses straightforward conversations to clarify values, strengthen motivation, and plan manageable steps when someone is ambivalent about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client’s needs, goals, and what fits their life. Sessions can shift between approaches as progress or obstacles become clear.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions when more focused work is required. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and first appointment to choose what will work best.
