About Catherine
Rev. Catherine Bogue is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri with 47 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and parenting concerns.
Her approach centers on listening first and then building practical steps forward tailored to each person's situation. She focuses on everyday problems like coping with life changes, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related struggles. She also addresses complex issues such as codependency, domestic violence, and process addictions.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage, not to rush solutions. Catherine uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to help people change unhelpful thoughts and strengthen coping skills. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation or painful memories are central concerns.
These approaches are applied in straightforward ways that parents can use between sessions. Her long practice includes support for people dealing with hospice and end-of-life issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, blended family stress, and midlife transitions. She is comfortable working with people who are hearing impaired and those facing co-occurring health or substance use problems.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. Catherine emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as life changes.

Approaches for online parenting and life changes
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting frustrations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors; it can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills that parents need daily. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions for relationship and family concerns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps tailor tools to your family rhythm and changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let parents send updates, ask quick questions, or check in between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can happen around school runs, work, and caregiving duties.
