About Catherine
Catherine Hogan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of clinical experience. She has supported people through major life stresses, anxiety, trauma, and family conflicts. Catherine focuses on making therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed by panic or constant worry.
She helps clients name what is happening in the moment and learn simple tools to manage panic attacks and anxiety. Sessions often center on small, doable steps that reduce immediate distress and build steady coping skills over time. Catherine listens for strengths and values that can guide change.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, domestic violence recovery, and family-of-origin issues. She also works with caregiver stress, grief near end of life, and loneliness that follows major life changes. This range shapes a calm, steady approach to crisis and transition.
Catherine places importance on cultural awareness and faith when these matter to a client. Therapy is collaborative - she checks in about goals and adjusts methods to fit each person. Her work aims to help people feel heard and regain a sense of control.
People who reach out can expect a direct, compassionate style. Sessions are framed around practical steps, clearer understanding of patterns, and strengthening supports that make day-to-day life easier.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many of the approaches Catherine uses focus on teaching concrete skills and changing unhelpful patterns. Cognitive-behavioral style work helps people identify anxious thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments to reduce worry and panic. This approach is useful for panic attacks, persistent anxiety, and worry about daily life.Trauma-informed techniques help people feel safer in sessions and learn ways to calm the body when memories or triggers arise. These methods emphasize pacing, grounding exercises, and building tolerance for distress while respecting each person’s pace and values.
Finding the right approach is often a process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress and needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice skills between meetings without long travel time.
