About Catherine
Catherine Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, dissociation, and problems tied to family or work.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Catherine listens, helps clarify what matters to each person, and practices skills that can be applied between meetings.
Catherine uses several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supports practical changes in thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas are used when relational patterns and early bonds come up.
Clients dealing with addiction, sexual assault, or post-traumatic stress find that sessions include paced processing and skills for managing intense emotions. Work-related stress and feelings of emptiness are approached with problem-solving and values-oriented choices. Guilt and shame are named directly in sessions and discussed with practical steps to reduce their daily hold.
Her style is direct and person-centered. People can expect a mix of talking, reflection, and skill practice. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values, which can help with guilt, shame, and low motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can lower anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership can include trying different approaches and adjusting as the work progresses.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. Some formats also let people choose audio-only check-ins when video would be difficult, or shorter meetings during a work break. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same types of skill practice and processing they would in person, while focusing on approaches that match each person's goals.
