Catherine Ogletree, LPC

Catherine Ogletree is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, parenting challenges, and effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life changes such as divorce or midlife transitions. Catherine writes and speaks plainly so people can understand next steps without extra jargon.

She works in a direct and compassionate way. Conversations are shaped to fit each person's situation. Catherine listens for practical barriers and small strengths to build on. She aims to make room for honest talk and realistic plans.

Catherine uses straightforward techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and trying small changes that create forward movement. Sessions pair gentle challenge with step-by-step goals participants can try between meetings.

Her background includes seven years of clinical work as a licensed professional counselor in Virginia. Catherine focuses on clear, measurable steps rather than long lists of labels. She invites people to name one or two changes they want and then helps turn those into doable tasks.

People who want help usually start with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step. Catherine tailors session pacing and homework to each person’s life. The work aims to reduce daily stress, improve relationships, and build skills people can use after therapy ends.

How Catherine uses CBT and solution-focused work online

Many of Catherine's tools come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood. CBT breaks worries into clear pieces so a person can test thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce stress or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and practical solutions that move a person toward the life they want.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Catherine works with each person to identify goals and preferences, and then adapts interventions to fit those aims. Together they track progress and adjust the plan when needed so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in meetings when needed. It can also let people practice changes between sessions in the settings where they live and work. Catherine helps clients decide on a pace and structure that fit their daily life and goals.
