About Cathrine

NM LPCC Cathrine Troy has 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors. Sessions address practical problems such as parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, and career stress.

Troy combines life experience with ongoing education and several supportive methods. She draws on tools from art-related work, life coaching ideas, and adoption practice to address adoption and foster care topics, attachment concerns, and parenting that isn’t working as hoped. She also works with people facing substance and alcohol problems and those coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their life. She looks for strengths to build on and for small, manageable steps that lead to change. Sessions can include practical problem solving, talking through difficult feelings, and creative exercises when helpful.

Troy has a background as an adoptive parent and experience with multicultural and immigration issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and fertility and attachment questions. She lists attention-deficit and personality-related challenges among her focus areas, along with eating and intimacy-related issues.

Her credential is LPCC, New Mexico Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Sessions are provided in English and reflect her long experience working with people in and around New Mexico. Prospective clients who want to book should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many of the evidence-based techniques Troy uses focus on practical change and skills building. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses; these methods suit anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-focused techniques emphasize stabilizing emotions, grounding, and processing painful memories at a pace the client can manage, which can help with post-traumatic stress and abuse-related issues.

Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions include regular check-ins about how the approach is working and adjustments as needed.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, child care, or travel. Some formats are simpler for shorter check-ins, and others work better for longer therapeutic work. Ask about the current session options when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
