About Catherine
Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and challenges related to parenting.

Catherine believes most people move toward wellness when treated with dignity and respect. She meets clients where they are and builds on the strengths that have carried them through difficult times.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps to improve daily functioning and reach goals that matter to the client. Her work combines client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral methods and motivational interviewing. She also draws on narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and find clearer direction.
These methods are used to address depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and related struggles. Catherine has worked in personal hospitals, community mental health centers, and substance use treatment settings. That variety shaped her ability to support people through crises and gradual change alike.
She emphasizes collaboration and clear communication about next steps. Parents often seek her help for parenting stress, sleep and eating disruptions, postpartum mood changes, and conflicts that affect daily life. She offers practical strategies for managing overwhelm and improving routines while respecting each person’s values and choices.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills to change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep or eating concerns and focuses on concrete strategies and practice between sessions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the session to what the person needs in the moment. This approach supports people who want a respectful space to sort out priorities, especially when facing life changes or parenting stress.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match what you want to work on. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions can fit into busy schedules and varied routines. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send brief updates, ask quick questions, or do check-ins between longer sessions.
