About Cathrine
Cathrine Troy is an NM LPCC with 35 years of experience who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people working through parenting stresses and related life challenges. She combines life experience and ongoing learning to guide practical steps toward change. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients find manageable ways forward.
Cathrine helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She also supports those dealing with stress, career shifts, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns and adoption-related issues are included among the topics she addresses. Her approach centers on partnership - she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on identifying workable changes and building on existing strengths.
Conversations are grounded and action-oriented, with attention to what can be done between sessions. Clients may explore attachment and adoption questions, immigration or multicultural concerns, and trauma or post-traumatic stress reactions. She also addresses personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent traits, and issues linked to ADHD or disruptive mood challenges.
Over three decades of practice have given her a broad base of experience across many concerns. Cathrine draws on intuition, empathy, and creativity while keeping the work practical. She encourages honesty, openness, and the small steps that lead toward a more satisfying life.

Evidence-based approaches and online tools for parenting stress
Cathrine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying current patterns and teaching skills for managing stress and anxiety, which can help when parenting demands feel overwhelming. Another approach targets addictive behaviors and compulsions by breaking problems into manageable steps and building healthier routines and supports.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaboration helps clients find approaches they can use day to day.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a break, chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between live meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with the work.
