About Catherine
Catherine Edwards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Catherine also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, and separation or divorce matters.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Catherine uses everyday language to talk through problems and build small, useful skills. She listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and helps people try new ways of responding. Work often centers on clearer communication, boundary-setting, and managing intense emotions.
Catherine draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and elements of the Gottman Method. These methods are used to address reactions to stress, repair communication, and process difficult memories.
In blended households she helps individuals sort roles, manage loyalties, and reduce repeated conflicts that wear people down. Sessions may cover how to negotiate routines, speak about parenting decisions, and set limits without escalating tension. Catherine aims to give concrete tools to try between meetings.
Her practice is in Pennsylvania and sessions are conducted in English. People who want to begin are invited to complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety and decisions in relationships where values matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and low mood going. CBT is practical for managing anxiety and learning new responses in tense conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as you see what works.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. They also allow practicing communication skills between sessions in the situations where they actually occur. If you prefer a particular setup, the matching questionnaire will help identify suitable arrangements.
