Catherine Kluge , LPC

Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has supported people through personal and clinical challenges since earning licensure in 2001. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from Webster University and brings 25 years of experience across settings that include a private hospital, community mental health center, and a substance use treatment program.

Her practice is grounded in the belief that most people move toward wellness when they are treated with dignity and respect. She honors the strengths and strategies that have brought each person to their current point, and she meets clients where they are to explore new ways of achieving their goals. Catherine emphasizes collaboration, treating clients as the directors of their own experience while offering guidance to increase functioning and broaden perspective.

She draws on client-centered methods and is versed in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and narrative approaches. She works with teens and adults facing depression, stress, anxiety, substance use, major life changes, grief, bipolar depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, anger and conflict, and relationship issues. Catherine views change as an act of strength and offers steady, respectful support to help clients move toward the outcomes they seek.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and values and creates space for people to direct the work. This approach helps individuals feel heard and supported while exploring change at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is often helpful for addressing worry, mood difficulties, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused awareness and simple practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be useful for managing everyday tension and cultivating steadier attention.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with each person to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. The therapist and client decide together what methods will best support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options for meeting by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
