About Catherine
Catherine Schully is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, or depressed. She also works with clients exploring LGBT issues, sexuality, gender dysphoria, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is structured and goal-oriented. She often uses in-session exercises and short homework tasks to reinforce what was discussed. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Catherine describes progress as learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely.
In practice she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a client-centered stance. That means attention to personal values and acceptance skills alongside listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach is used with concerns such as coping with life changes, isolation or loneliness, and relationship patterns like codependency or non-monogamous arrangements.
Catherine also works with people affected by family of origin problems, attachment difficulties, and specific behaviors such as trichotillomania. She uses clear, short-term goals to help clients test new ways of handling stress and difficult emotions. The work emphasizes small, repeatable actions that fit into everyday life.
For someone feeling stuck after a job change, breakup, health shift, or other transition, she offers pragmatic support aimed at noticing what matters and taking steady steps forward. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values. It also teaches skills to notice and allow difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and supporting the person's own process of deciding what matters and which steps to try next.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means assessing what problems are most pressing and then choosing concrete exercises and goals to try over a series of sessions.
The biography does not specify which online formats are available, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Practical benefits include being able to use exercises or homework between sessions and to practice skills in real-life routines, which supports steady, small changes over time.
