About Catherine
Catherine Kimrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Washington and practices with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
Catherine focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them sort through feelings and options. Sessions are direct and steady, with attention to what is getting in the way of daily functioning and sense of purpose.
She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and emotion regulation.
Her background includes work with people facing midlife questions, life purpose concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving and aging. She also has experience addressing family of origin issues, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and the fallout from infidelity or domestic violence.
People who come to Catherine often want clearer direction after a change in work, relationships, or health. She helps with concrete communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation. Practical planning and regular review of progress are part of how she works.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this looks like noticing unhelpful thinking, testing small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results together to shift patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and preferences. The therapist follows what the client brings, reflects what is said, and helps prioritize the most pressing concerns so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and strong emotions. These tools can be practiced between sessions and reviewed during meetings to see what helps in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That decision is revisited over time as progress and challenges arise.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let work or family commitments be balanced with appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so that sessions remain practical and useful for everyday life.
