Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison, LISW

Caterina (Cathe) Hutchison is an LISW - licensed independent social worker in Ohio with 23 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, and bipolar disorder.

Cathe has spent many years helping people after traumatic events and supporting those living with chronic illness. She has worked across different age groups during her career and brings that breadth of experience to each appointment. In practical terms she listens, asks focused questions, and helps people set small steps toward clearer goals.

Her approach uses evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on existing strengths. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with homework and skills practice when those fit the person’s goals.

People who turn to Cathe often want clear tools for managing anxiety, better ways to handle difficult family interactions, or support after abuse or loss. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort where practical steps matter.

If you are balancing blended household concerns, parenting transitions, or shifts in relationships, Cathe works with those topics as part of her practice. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial session and decide if her style feels like a fit.
