About Catherine

Catherine Denham is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience offering therapy in Florida. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Her background spans multiple settings, giving her practical familiarity with diverse clinical needs and life circumstances. Her style is attentive, compassionate, and respectful, focused on helping clients connect with their inner resources and find clearer ways forward.

Catherine draws on Internal Family Systems alongside attachment-informed and client-centered approaches, adapting techniques to each person’s goals and rhythm. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, guiding clients through coping with life changes, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds.

Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, with scheduling that reflects therapist availability. Catherine aims to create a supportive space where people can take courageous steps toward greater balance and well-being.

Integrating Approaches for Online Therapy

Internal Family Systems is a model that helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves, allowing exploration of inner conflicts and healing of wounded or protective parts; it can be useful for trauma, shame, and chronic patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape trust, safety, and connection, and it aims to repair relational wounds and improve current relationship functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace and focus of change.

Finding the best blend of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and pacing based on what emerges in early sessions and adjusts as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats allow consistent access to a licensed professional from different locations and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them, supporting continuity of care and practical convenience.
